Abstract [en]
We study the low SNR scaling of the non-coherent secret-key agreement capacity over a reciprocal, block-fading channel. For the restricted class of strategies, where one of the nodes is constrained to transmit pilot-only symbols, we show that the secret-key capacity scales as SNR ·log T if T ≤ 1/SNR, where T denotes the coherence period, and as SNR·log(1/SNR) otherwise. Our upper bound is inspired by the genie-aided argument of Borade and Zheng (IT-Trans 2010). Our lower bound is based on bursty communication, channel training, and secret message transmission.
