Abstract:
In this paper, we focus on designing a high-data-rate noncoherent chaotic communication scheme to satisfy the demand of the explosive growth in data traffic. To achieve this goal, a joint time-frequency index modulation assisted multiple-mode DCSK (JTFIM-MM-DCSK) system is proposed, where a pair of distinguished signal modes are modulated into the selected subcarriers and another signal mode is transmitted by the unselected subcarriers. In this configuration, besides the modulated bits used for physical transmission, the carrier index bits and time slot index bits, conveyed by the state of whether subcarriers and time slots are selected or not, are also transmitted implicitly to achieve higher data rate. Moreover, the design of multiple-mode signals ensures that it is taking full advantage of all subcarriers and time slots to transmit the information bits, thereby improving the data rate significantly. The bit error rate (BER) expressions of the JTFIM-MM-DCSK system are derived over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath Rayleigh fading channels, which are checked by computer simulations. Finally, the advantage of the JTFIM-MM-DCSK system over other up-to-date noncoherent chaotic communication systems is demonstrated in terms of BER performance through extensive computer simulations.
