Analysis and Design of an Energy Efficient Differential Coherent Chaos Based System in Additive White Gaussian Noise Environment

Abstract EN

A new differential coherent chaos based scheme is proposed and named as Differential Chaos ON-OFF Keying (DCOOK).

The proposed scheme provides reduction in bit energy and better bit error performance at large spreading factor.

This is achieved by presenting each transmitted bit by either identical segment or no transmission within same bit duration.

The receiver performs simple correlation between the received signal and its delayed version to determine the transmitted information utilizing the low correlation between the noise signals.

The bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated analytically using Gaussian Approximation (GA) method and compared with the simulation results.

The results show excellent agreement between the derived expression and simulation.

Moreover, the BER of DCOOK scheme is compared with the standard chaos systems: Chaos ON-OFF Keying (COOK), Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK), and Correlation Delay Shift Keying (CDSK).

The comparison results show that DCOOK scheme can always achieve superior performance compared to COOK and CDSK schemes and even exceeds the performance of DCSK scheme at typical spreading factor values.
