Covert communication prevents legitimate transmission from being detected by a warden while maintaining certain covert rate at the intended user. Prior works have considered the design of covert communication over conventional low-frequency bands, but few works so far have explored the higher-frequency millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum. The directional nature of mmWave communication makes it attractive for covert transmission. However, how to establish such directional link in a covert manner in the first place remains as a significant challenge. In this paper, we consider a covert mmWave communication system, where legitimate parties Alice and Bob adopt beam training approach for directional link establishment. Accounting for the training overhead, we develop a new design framework that jointly optimizes beam training duration, training power and data transmission power to maximize the effective throughput of Alice-Bob link while ensuring the covertness constraint at warden Willie is met. We further propose a dual-decomposition successive convex approximation algorithm to solve the problem efficiently. Numerical studies demonstrate interesting tradeoff among the key design parameters considered and also the necessity of joint design of beam training and data transmission for covert mmWave communication.

Millimeter Wave (mmWave) communications rely on highly directional beams to combat severe propagation loss. In this paper, an adaptive beam search algorithm based on spatial scanning, called Iterative Deactivation and Beam Shifting (IDBS), is propose
d for mmWave beam alignment. IDBS does not require advance information such as the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and channel statistics, and matches the training overhead to the unknown SNR to achieve satisfactory performance. The algorithm works by gradually deactivating beams using a Bayesian probability criterion based on a uniform improper prior, where beam deactivation can be implemented with low-complexity operations that require computing a low-degree polynomial or a search through a look-up table. Numerical results confirm that IDBS adapts to different propagation scenarios such as line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight and to different SNRs. It can achieve better tradeoffs between training overhead and beam alignment accuracy than existing non-adaptive algorithms that have fixed training overheads.
Beamforming structures with fixed beam codebooks provide economical solutions for millimeter wave (mmWave) communications due to the low hardware cost. However, the training overhead to search for the optimal beamforming configuration is proportional
to the codebook size. To improve the efficiency of beam tracking, we propose a beam tracking scheme based on the channel fingerprint database, which comprises mappings between statistical beamforming gains and user locations. The scheme tracks user movement by utilizing the trained beam configurations and estimating the gains of beam configurations that are not trained. Simulations show that the proposed scheme achieves significant beamforming performance gains over existing beam tracking schemes.
Multi-point detection of the full-scale environment is an important issue in autonomous driving. The state-of-the-art positioning technologies (such as RADAR and LIDAR) are incapable of real-time detection without line-of-sight. To address this issue
, this paper presents a novel multi-point vehicular positioning technology via emph{millimeter-wave} (mmWave) transmission that exploits multi-path reflection from a emph{target vehicle} (TV) to a emph{sensing vehicle} (SV), which enables the SV to fast capture both the shape and location information of the TV in emph{non-line-of-sight} (NLoS) under the assistance of multi-path reflections. A emph{phase-difference-of-arrival} (PDoA) based hyperbolic positioning algorithm is designed to achieve the synchronization between the TV and SV. The emph{stepped-frequency-continuous-wave} (SFCW) is utilized as signals for multi-point detection of the TVs. Transceiver separation enables our approach to work in NLoS conditions and achieve much lower latency compared with conventional positioning techniques.
This paper studies a federated edge learning system, in which an edge server coordinates a set of edge devices to train a shared machine learning model based on their locally distributed data samples. During the distributed training, we exploit the j
oint communication and computation design for improving the system energy efficiency, in which both the communication resource allocation for global ML parameters aggregation and the computation resource allocation for locally updating MLparameters are jointly optimized. In particular, we consider two transmission protocols for edge devices to upload ML parameters to edge server, based on the non orthogonal multiple access and time division multiple access, respectively. Under both protocols, we minimize the total energy consumption at all edge devices over a particular finite training duration subject to a given training accuracy, by jointly optimizing the transmission power and rates at edge devices for uploading MLparameters and their central processing unit frequencies for local update. We propose efficient algorithms to optimally solve the formulated energy minimization problems by using the techniques from convex optimization. Numerical results show that as compared to other benchmark schemes, our proposed joint communication and computation design significantly improves the energy efficiency of the federated edge learning system, by properly balancing the energy tradeoff between communication and computation.
Accurate channel parameter estimation is challenging for wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) large-scale hybrid arrays, due to beam squint and much fewer radio frequency (RF) chains than antennas. This paper presents a novel joint delay and angle estim
ation approach for wideband mmWave fully-connected hybrid uniform cylindrical arrays. We first design a new hybrid beamformer to reduce the dimension of received signals on the horizontal plane by exploiting the convergence of the Bessel function, and to reduce the active beams in the vertical direction through preselection. The important recurrence relationship of the received signals needed for subspace-based angle and delay estimation is preserved, even with substantially fewer RF chains than antennas. Then, linear interpolation is generalized to reconstruct the received signals of the hybrid beamformer, so that the signals can be coherently combined across the whole band to suppress the beam squint. As a result, efficient subspace-based algorithm algorithms can be developed to estimate the angles and delays of multipath components. The estimated delays and angles are further matched and correctly associated with different paths in the presence of non-negligible noises, by putting forth perturbation operations. Simulations show that the proposed approach can approach the Cram{e}r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the estimation with a significantly lower computational complexity than existing techniques.
