A Covert &#x03B1;-Stable Noise-Based Extended Random Communication by Incorporating Multiple Inverse Systems by Areeb Ahmed, Zoran Bosnic

“…This study introduces a strategy for ensuring covert communication by incorporating inverse systems to design an Extended Random Communication System (ERCS), where the carrier conveying the information is skewed alpha-stable random noise. In contrast to the approach that utilizes a single inverse system to provide covertness through a Random Communication System, this new technique integrates several m th-order inverse systems to transform skewed <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\alpha $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-stable random signals on the transmitting end and the corresponding inverse systems on the receiving end to invert the signals received from the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. …”
