Scalar Gaussian Wiretap Channel with Peak Amplitude Constraint: Numerical Computation of the Optimal Input Distribution
share
This paper studies a scalar Gaussian wiretap channel where instead of an average input power constraint, we consider a peak amplitude constraint on the input. The goal is to obtain insights into the secrecy-capacity and the structure of the secrecy-capacity-achieving distribution. Capitalizing on the recent theoretical progress on the structure of the secrecy-capacity-achieving distribution, this paper develops a numerical procedure, based on the gradient ascent algorithm and a version of the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm, for computing the secrecy-capacity and the secrecy-capacity-achieving input and output distributions.
