  Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) is a robust multiple access scheme for
downlink multi-antenna wireless networks. In this work, we investigate a novel
application of RSMA for joint communications and jamming with a Multi-Carrier
(MC) waveform in Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) Broadcast Channel (BC).
Our aim is to simultaneously communicate with Information Users (IU) and jam
Adversarial Users (AU) to disrupt their communications in a setting where all
users perform broadband communications by MC waveforms in their respective
networks. We consider the practical setting of imperfect CSI at transmitter
(CSIT) for the IUs and statistical CSIT for AUs. The optimal information and
jamming precoders are designed to maximize the sum-rate under jamming power
constraints on the pilot subcarriers of AUs, a jamming method considered to be
among the most destructive methods for MC waveforms under the considered system
model. We compare the sum-rate performance of RSMA and Space Division Multiple
Access (SDMA) schemes by numerical results to demonstrate that RSMA achieves a
significant sum-rate gain compared to SDMA.
