Dear Colleagues and Students,
The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City would like to invite you to join our “IOTSC Talk Series” on 22/01/2024 (Monday). We are pleased to invite Prof. Bin XIA from Shanghai Jiao Tong University as the speaker.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Covert Communications
Speaker: Prof. Bin XIA, Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Date: 22/01/2024 (Monday)
Time: 11:00 – 12:00
Language: English
Venue: N21-5010

Abstract:
This talk discusses the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to enhance communication security, particularly in wireless communication. It highlights the potential of RIS-assisted covert communication, which can improve performance by reconstructing wireless channels. The talk introduces the background of covert communications, discusses embedded technologies, and identifies the fundamental issues in covert communications, including transmission covertness, reliability, latency, and throughput. The gains brought by RIS in covert communications are quantified, revealing constraints on these performance indicators.
