Wireless Covert Communication with Polarization Dirty Constellation

Abstract

Wireless covert communication is an emerging communication technique that prevents eavesdroppers. This paper presents a novel approach to wireless covert communication based on polar codes with dirty constellation polarization. The feasibility of dirty constellation polarization is analyzed, and the impact of covert transmission power on undetectability is investigated. We polarize the covert channel and decode the covert information using a successive-cancellation decoder. Simulation results demonstrate that polar codes can significantly improve the undetectability and reliability of covert communication when compared to BCH codes. Additionally, we find that polarized covert channels achieve better undetectability and reliability when using a successive-cancellation list decoder. The proposed algorithm shows significant improvement in the undetectability and reliability of wireless covert communication with dirty constellations. This research provides a promising direction for future development in the field of covert communication, with potential applications in secure communication systems.
