This application relates to a
covert communication method,
computer device, and readable storage medium utilizing linear
spread spectrum modulation of nonlinear chirped
spread spectrum amplitude. The method includes nonlinear
spread spectrum LoRa communication between a
transmitter and a
receiver via a legitimate channel. The
covert communication method comprises: at the
transmitter, performing covert chirped modulation of the legitimate channel amplitude based on a linear chirped
spread spectrum modulation method to form a
covert channel carrying covert information; embedding the
covert channel into the legitimate channel to obtain a transmission
signal containing both legitimate and covert information; at the
receiver, receiving the transmission
signal through a legitimate
receiver and demodulating it using legitimate nonlinear chirped modulation to obtain legitimate information; and at the receiver, receiving the transmission
signal through a covert receiver,
processing it with covert chirped information, and then performing covert chirped
demodulation based on a linear chirped
spread spectrum modulation method to obtain the covert information. This application embeds covert information into a legitimate nonlinear spread spectrum LoRa channel, improving the parallel transmission capacity of covert information.
