Synchronization techniques for chaotic communication systems. (Q2275410)

The book ``Synchronization Techniques for Chaotic Communication Systems'' written by Branislav Jovic contains 11 chapters and an appendix. In the book, synchronization techniques for chaotic communication systems are presented. The author investigates the principles of traditional chaotic synchronization and the principles of Pecora-Caroll chaotic synchronization and gives novel approaches to design new single-user chaotic communication systems. Based on Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access Synchronization (DSCDMA) and using Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) principles, a generalized chaos based time division multiplexing communication system with more than one DS-CDMA user per TDM branch is introduced. The proposed chaotic communication system is evaluated using the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and the Rayleigh fading channels. The first chapter gives the reader an introduction to multiple access mobile communication systems. The main performance counter -- bit error rate for these type of communication systems -- is also introduced such that one can read how to measure the effects of the channel imperfections on the transmitted signal: one evaluates the bit error rate when noise and fading are present in the channel. The author proposes two new measures, the Bit Power Parameter Spectrum and the Bit Power Initial Condition. Other concepts like mobile communication system, multiple access techniques, hybrid systems, cellular system based on the code division multiple access principles are also introduced in the first chapter. In chapter 2 nonlinear dynamical system are presented and analyzed: flows and maps and their characteristics as well as the high sensitivity to parameter and initial condition perturbations, their random like nature, and their broadband spectrum. The Lyapunov exponents for diagnosis and characterization of the chaotic system are presented. Also there are given two approaches for the implementation of secure communication systems and noise reduction techniques for filtering chaotic communication systems. Chapter 3 introduces characteristics of chaotic synchronization using the Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov's direct methods. Different known results related to the chaotic synchronization are presented. The concept of the Pecora-Caroll chaotic synchronization is presented and work principles are used together with Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov's direct method to present two approaches for the analysis of chaotic synchronization. In the chapter 4, a first type of nonlinear dynamical system (flow) is used to introduce a kind of chaotic synchronization. The nonlinear control laws are designed in such a way that the eigenvalues of the error system matrix always fall within the unit circle in the \(z\) domain. It is demonstrated that the synchronization can be realized in a single step if the error system matrix can be reduced to zero. Chapter 5 presents a novel mathematical analysis method for predicting master-slave chaotic synchronization. A necessary (Pecora-Caroll) and sufficient (Lorenz and Rossler) conditions for master-slave synchronization is that the part of the slave system not being driven by the master system must be asymptotically stable (He and Vaidya). It is shown how the asymptotic stability can be proved. In chapter 6, some applications of the chaotic synchronization for a secure communication systems are given. Based on bit error rate, it is proved that the initial condition modulation communication scheme has better performance than a chaotic parameter modulation scheme. Chapter 7 contains two sample methods for reaching the sequence synchronization in a multi access code division communication scheme using the code acquisition and tracking phase. For these communication schemes. Its performance is analyzed by using the bit error rate. In chapter 8, a multi-user time division multiplexing communication system is analyzed. By assuming some preconditions (like perfect sequence synchronization), conditions for reaching the minimum allowed bit error rate are given. Chapter 9 discusses some multi-user time division multiplexing communication systems (Lorenz and Ueda). In contrast to the chapter 8, in this chapter the sequence synchronization is made using the results presented in chapter 6. In chapter 10, the security (the average power of a number of bits) for the chaotic communication systems is evaluated by using the average power of the chaotic bit carriers of the transmitted bits. Two measures, the Bit Power Parameter Spectrum (BPPS) and Bit Power Initial Condition Spectrum (BPICS), are proposed. In the last chapter, conclusions related to the conducted studies with respect to single and multiple access chaotic communication systems and their synchronization techniques are formulated. For a better understanding of the synchronization schemes, the author proposes empirical bit error rates curves. The bibliography covers the presented synchronization techniques for chaotic communication systems. Additionally, related citations to the paragraphs are given within the book chapters separately.
