The impact of interference from a covert link on a data link using OFDM, AMC, and hybrid ARQ

This paper shows the impact of interference generated by a covert link on the data link layer of a packet based (infrastructure) wireless network. Infrastructure networks employ orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), and hybrid auto-repeat-request (HARQ) to allow them to achieve higher data rates and increase capacity.
