A new chaotic communication scheme based on adaptive synchronization

A new chaotic communication scheme using adaptive synchronization technique of two unified chaotic systems is proposed. Different from the existing secure communication methods, the transmitted signal is modulated into the parameter of chaotic systems. The adaptive synchronization technique is used to synchronize two identical chaotic systems embedded in the transmitter and the receiver. It is assumed that the parameter of the receiver system is unknown. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive control law is derived to make the states of two identical unified chaotic systems with unknown system parameters asymptotically synchronized; thus the parameter of the receiver system is identified. Then the recovery of the original information signal in the receiver is successfully achieved on the basis of the estimated parameter. It is noticed that the time required for recovering the information signal and the accuracy of the recovered signal very sensitively depends on the frequency of the information signal. Numerical results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

A new private communication scheme based on the idea of fault detection and identification

By use of the idea of fault detection and identification, this Letter proposes a new scheme to resolve the problem of chaotic private communication. From the point of view of fault detection and identification the scalar message signal hidden in the chaotic systems can be regarded as the component fault signal, thereby it can be detected and recovered using the model-based methods of fault detection and identification. The famous Duffing oscillator is used to illustrate and verify the effectiveness of this scheme.     

New communication schemes based on adaptive synchronization

In this paper, adaptive synchronization with unknown parameters is discussed for a unified chaotic system by using the Lyapunov method and the adaptive control approach. Some communication schemes, including chaotic masking, chaotic modulation, and chaotic shift key strategies, are then proposed based on the modified adaptive method. The transmitted signal is masked by chaotic signal or modulated into the system, which effectively blurs the constructed return map and can resist this return map attack. The driving system with unknown parameters and functions is almost completely unknown to the attackers, so it is more secure to apply this method into the communication. Finally, some simulation examples based on the proposed communication schemes and some cryptanalysis works are also given to verify the theoretical analysis in this paper.     

A new chaotic secure communication scheme

Different from the existing chaotic secure communication methods, the useful information is embodied in the parameter of chaotic systems in this Letter. The receiver is designed which can succeed in recovering the former signal. Finally computer simulations are done to verify the proposed methods, and the results show that the obtained theoretic results are feasible and efficient.     

A new multi-path scheme for adaptive computation-aware motion estimation

Ability to work in a computation-limited and computation-variant environment described as “computational awareness” is a desirable feature of a real-time motion estimation system. In this paper, a new multi-path computation-aware algorithm is proposed. One-pass scheme, presented in the prior work by Chen et al., considers only one candidate point which is the median of neighbouring motion vectors (MVs). However, when computational resources are abundant, it is possible to investigate more search paths around points from the prediction set and get a significant improvement both in terms of quality and utilization of available search points (SPs). There are also other enhancements introduced regarding the way of selection of the starting SP and the search strategy, and allocation of resources, which leads to higher PSNR and a better utilization of computational resources.     

A secure communication scheme based on the phase synchronization of chaotic systems

Phase synchronization of chaotic systems with both weak and strong couplings has recently been investigated extensively. Similar to complete synchronization, this type of synchronization can also be applied in secure communications. We develop a digital secure communication scheme that utilizes the instantaneous phase as the signal transmitted from the drive to the response subsystems. Simulation results show that the scheme is difficult to be broken by some traditional attacks. Moreover, it operates with a weak positive conditional Lyapunov exponent in the response subsystem.

A Kalman filter based synchronization scheme for telescope array receivers in deep-space optical communication links

In this paper, the impact of random synchronization errors on the performance of ground-based telescope array receivers for an inter-planetary optical deep-space communication (ODSC) link is investigated. An adaptive method based on Kalman filters is developed for the synchronization and combination of different telescope signals in the array. An end-to-end simulation platform for ODSC link between Earth and planet Mars is implemented that incorporates pulse-position modulation (PPM), direct-detection array receivers, and photon-counting detectors. The effects of atmospheric turbulence and background noise are also modeled. The performance of array receivers is evaluated in terms of probability of symbol error and achievable data rates. The simulation results show that the Kalman filter-based synchronization scheme keeps the synchronization induced power losses to less than 1 dB. The analysis also shows that in the worst-case operational scenario and presence of random synchronization errors, an array consisting of hundred, 1 m telescopes performs almost similar to a single 10 m telescope. Hence, the degradation in the combined signal due to synchronization errors places a minor limitation on the number of telescopes in a telescope array receiver consisting of up to 100 telescope elements.     

An adaptive chaotic secure communication scheme with channel noises

In this Letter, an adaptive secure communication scheme with channel noises is proposed. Based on the idea of chaotic masking-modulation, the message is encrypted by a chaotic signal. By using adaptive feedback control techniques, the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized, so the masked signal can be perfectly recovered by the receiver in the presence of channel noises. In light of the Lyapunov stability theory for stochastic differential equations, several theoretical results are rigorously established. Finally, the famous Chua's circuits is used to illustrate the possible applications of the obtained theoretical results, and the computer simulations show that the proposed scheme is feasible and efficient.

A novel and simple adaptive feedback controller is proposed for chaos and hyperchaos synchronization. In comparison with previous methods, the present control scheme is not only simple but employs only one control strength, converges very fast and also suitable for a large class of chaotic and hyperchaotic systems. In addition, the synchronization is efficient in the presence of noise. Numerical simulations are used to validate and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Full-order and reduced-order observer-based synchronization for chaotic systems with unknown disturbances and parameters

The Letter deals with the problem of synchronization of chaotic dynamic system with unknown disturbances and parameters based on observer. First, under some assumptions for drive system, a kind of full-order observer-based synchronization method is summarized. The response system is a robust adaptive full-order observer with adaptation laws for the unknown disturbances and parameters. Second, under the same assumptions, a reduced-order observer-based response system which can synchronize part states of drive system is developed. By choosing a special reduced-order gain matrix, the reduced-order observer-based response system is able to eliminate the influence of the unknown disturbances and parameters directly, so it is unnecessary for one to design the adaptation laws of them. Finally, some numerical simulations for Lorenz chaotic system are design and the simulation results are analyzed in detail.

A stable adaptive neural-network-based scheme for dynamical system control

A stable adaptive neural-network-based control scheme for dynamical systems is presented and a continuous recurrent neural network model of dynamical systems is constructed in this paper. A novel algorithm for updating weights in the neural network, which is not derived from the conventional back propagation algorithm, is also constructed. The proposed control law is obtained adaptively by a continuous recurrent neural network identifier, but not by a conventional neural network controller. In such a way, the stability in the sense of the Lyapunov stability can be guaranteed theoretically. The control error converges to a range near the zero point and remains within the domain throughout the course of the execution. Numerical experiments for a longitudinal vibration ultrasonic motor show that the proposed control scheme has good control performance.     

A dynamic adaptive chemistry scheme for reactive flow computations

An on-the-fly kinetic mechanism reduction scheme, referred to as dynamic adaptive chemistry (DAC), has been developed to incorporate detailed chemical kinetics into reactive flow computations with high efficiency and accuracy. The procedure entails reducing a detailed mechanism to locally and instantaneously accurate sub-mechanisms at each hydrodynamic time step of the calculation, and consequently no a priori information regarding simulation conditions is needed. The reduction utilizes an extended version of the directed relation graph (DRG) method in which the edges are weighted by a value that measures the dependence of the tail species (vertex) on the head species. An R-value is then defined at each vertex as the maximum of the products of these weights along all paths to that vertex from an initiating species. Active species are identified by their R-values exceeding a threshold value, ε_R, using a modified breadth-first search (BFS) that starts from a pre-defined set of initiating species. Chemical kinetics equations are then formulated with respect to the active species, with the inactive species considered only as third body collision partners. The DAC method is implemented into CHEMKIN and tested by simulating homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion using detailed and pre-reduced n-heptane mechanisms (578 species and 178 species, respectively) as the full mechanisms. The DAC scheme reproduces with high accuracy the pressure curves and species mass fractions obtained using the full mechanisms. The on-the-fly mechanism reduction scheme introduces minimal computational overhead and achieves more than 30-fold time reduction in calculations using the 578-species mechanism.     

A novel adaptive synchronization algorithm for intermediate frequency architecture CO-OFDM system

An adaptive algorithm of fine synchronization for intermediate frequency architecture coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) transmission system is proposed. The whole synchronization procedure is separated into two steps. In the first step, we use an auto-correlation-style algorithm to achieve the coarse symbol synchronization. In the second step, the proposed algorithm is used to achieve the adaptive fine synchronization. The merit of the proposed algorithm is that it can realize fine synchronization under different environments without adjusting the detect-threshold of timing metric in a dynamically reconfiguration network. And also the algorithm can implement in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other digital signal processing (DSP) chips easily. In this paper, the CO-OFDM model is analyzed in theory firstly. Secondly, an analysis on the performance of coarse synchronization algorithm used in this paper is made. Finally, the proposed fine synchronization algorithm is introduced in detail. The simulation experiment result demonstrates that the proposed algorithm achieves fine synchronization under different signal noise ratio (SNR) conditions after 6 fiber-spans transmission.
