Abstract

The complexity of covert communication management is the main barrier towards the massive application of covert communication. In this paper, a protocol for autonomic covert communication is proposed to deal with the management complexity of covert communication system, and the environmental changes in the course of covert communication. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the self-star properties of the proposed scheme.
