Underwater acoustic (UWA) biomimicking communications have been developed for covert communications. For the UWA covert communications, it is difficult to achieve the bit error rate (BER) and the degree of mimic (DoM) performances at the same time. This paper proposes a biomimicking covert communication method to increase both BER and DoM (degree of mimic) performances based on the Time Frequency Shift Keying (TFSK). To increase DoM and BER performances, the orthogonality requirements of the time- and frequency-shifting units of the TFSK are theoretically derived, and the whistles are multiplied by the sequence with a large correlation. Two-step DoM assessments are also developed for the long-term whistle signals. Computer simulations and practical lake and ocean experiments demonstrate that the proposed method increases the DoM by 35% and attains a zero BER at −6 dB of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

For underwater acoustic covert communications, biomimetic covert communications have been developed using dolphin whistles. The conventional biomimetic covert communication methods transmit slightly different signal patterns from real dolphin whistles, which results in a low degree of mimic (DoM). In this paper, we propose a novel biomimetic communication method that preserves the large DoM with a low bit error rate (BER). For the transmission, the proposed method utilizes the various contours of real dolphin whistles with the link information among consecutive whistles, and the proposed receiver uses machine learning based whistle detectors with the aid of the link information. Computer simulations and practical ocean experiments were executed to demonstrate the better BER performance of the proposed method. Ocean experiments demonstrate that the BER of the proposed method was 0.002, while the BER of the conventional Deep Neural Network (DNN) based detector showed 0.36.

Pada tulisan ini, dievaluasi performansi skema modulasi MFSK (M-ary Frequency Shift Keying) untuk aplikasi pengiriman data melalui kanal suara GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). Parameter yang dievaluasi berupa kesalahan bit trasmisi yang dinyatakan dengan laju kesalahan bit atau bit error rate (BER). Evaluasi ini dilakukan untuk menentukan besarnya orde M yang akan dipilih pada aplikasi pengiriman data digital melalui kanal suara GSM. Pada proses simulasi, data digital dikodekan menjadi simbol-simbol lalu dimodulasi menggunakan modulator MFSK menjadi data menyerupai pembicaraan (suara). Suara yang dihasilkan dikodekan dengan algoritma CELP (Code Excited Linear Prediction), kemudian dikirimkan melalui udara yang dimodelkan sebagai kanal AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise). Di sisi penerima, sinyal terima yang menyerupai suara ini didemodulasi dan dikonversi kembali menjadi data digital. Dari simulasi menggunakan Eb/No (signal to noise ratio) sebesar 6 dB, diperoleh laju bit 2,5 kbps dengan BER 2,01 x 10-3 untuk M=4, 2,22 x 10-3 untuk M=8, dan 1,87 x 10-3 untuk M=16.

Focus of this paper is mainly evaluating the performance of Long Term Evolution (LTE) system in different terrains such as urban, suburban and rural area. The performance parameters such as, Bit Error Rate (BER) and the Data Throughput are reported in terms of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The system parameters taken into consideration are signal to noise ratio (SNR), number of receiving antenna (RxAn), reference channel and duplex mode. All of the simulations were performed in MATLAB, version 2014a simulink. The results are presented in table and graph which gives clear idea of the effect of environment on signal and receiver sensitivity. Also bit-error-rate, an important parameter in case of receiving signal, is analyzed with respect to SNR values. A comparative analysis of bit-error-rate is performed between three areas for same conditions which proves that LTE signal is well suited in a rural area than that of a suburban and urban area.

Covert communication can effectively improve the security of communication content, which has been widely used in wireless communication systems. Most approaches for covert communication are based on the principle of text-embedded in upper layer of the OSI model. In this paper, a novel covert communication scheme is proposed. This method takes advantage of scramble codes and message processing rules of the WCDMA system. It uses a downlink scramble code in the normal WCDMA uplink signal, so that the covert messages will not be received by the base station (BS) and the user equipment (UE). Simulation result shows that the proposed covert communication method has a low bit error rate (BER) performance, and will only make the signals of different business to a slightly lower data transmission rate.
