A joint weighted power detector for Willie in two-hop covert
communication system
Abstract
In this letter, a joint weighted power detector (JWPD) based on maximum
a posterior probability (MAP) criteria is proposed for Willie aiming at
two-hop covert communication scenario, which is a near optimal detector.
Instead of only supervising one single phase, Willie combines the
observations of two phases to make joint decision in the proposed
scheme. The proposed scheme achieves lower probability of detection
error (PDE) than the existing single-phase-detector (SPD) scheme and
adding-power-directly-detector (APDD) scheme due to sufficient
utilization of the two-phases observations. Numerical results
demonstrate the benefit of our proposed scheme.
