    BER performance enhancement for secure wireless communication systems based on DCSK-MIMO techniques under Rayleigh fading channel
    (2013) Abdulameer, L.F.; Jokhakar, J.D.; Sripati, U.; Kulkarni, M.
    There has been a growing interest in the use of chaotic techniques for enabling secure communication in recent years. This need has been motivated by the emergence of a number of wireless services which require the channel to provide very low bit error rates (BER) along with information security. As more and more information is transacted over wireless media, there has been increasing criminal activity directed against such systems. This paper investigates the feasibility of using chaotic communications over Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels. We have studied the performance of differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) with 2×2 Alamouti scheme and 2×1 Alamouti scheme for different chaotic maps over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and channels disturbed by Rayleigh fading. Both the inherently wideband DCSK modulation and the space-time block code (STBC) are techniques that can mitigate the effect of multipath fading. The use of these schemes allows us to enhance security without degrading the BER performance for Rayleigh fading channels. We have employed an exact method to analyze the performances of DCSK communication system over fading channel. Our simulations indicate that the combination of the STC and tent map provides the best BER performance in addition to security when compared to the choice of other maps. Hence, this study shows that the use of these schemes can allow the user to enhance security without degrading the BER performance while communicating over these channels. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.

    BER performance enhancement for secure wireless optical communication systems based on chaotic MIMO techniques
    (2014) Abdulameer, L.F.; Jignesh, J.D.; Sripati, U.; Kulkarni, M.
    There has been a growing interest in the use of chaotic techniques for enabling secure communication in recent years. This need has been motivated by the emergence of a number of wireless services which require the channel to provide low bit error rates (BER) along with information security. The aim of such activity is to steal or distort the information being conveyed. Optical Wireless Systems (basically Free Space Optic Systems, FSO) are no exception to this trend. Thus, there is an urgent necessity to design techniques that can secure privileged information against unauthorized eavesdroppers while simultaneously protecting information against channel-induced perturbations and errors. Conventional cryptographic techniques are not designed for protecting information integrity when data is being transferred over a harsh communication medium. Hence, a separate channel coding protocol is often necessary to achieve this goal. Our work indicates that the use of a suitable Chaotic Shift Keying (CSK) map combined with an appropriate Space-Time Code (STC) can allow both requirements to be met. In this paper, we have concentrated on investigating the error rate performance of chaotic-wireless optical communication links operating over atmospheric channel, where the turbulence-induced fading is described by the Gamma-Gamma and log-normal distributions. The main aim of the paper is to assess the feasibility of employing Space-Time Coded chaotic communications over Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication channels. Our simulations indicate that the combination of the STC and tent map provides the best BER performance in addition to security when compared to the choice of other maps. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

    Spatially Modulated Non Orthogonal Space Time Block Code: Construction and design from cyclic codes over Galois Field
    (Elsevier B.V., 2019) Godkhindi Shrutkirthi, G.S.; G.D., G.S.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    A new class of non-binary Spatially Modulated Non-orthogonal Space Time Block Code designs (SM-NSTBC) has been proposed. These designs employ full rank, length n,(n|qm?1,m?n) cyclic codes defined over GF(qm). The underlying cyclic code constructions have the property that the codewords when viewed as m×n matrices over GF(q) have rank equal to m (Full rank). These codes are punctured to yield m×m full rank matrices over GF(q). Rank preserving transformations are used to map the codewords of full rank codes over a finite field to full rank Space Time Block Codes. The proposed scheme can be generalized to handle any number of transmit antenna greater than two. Due to the characteristics of Full rank cyclic codes employed, a coding gain of approximately 1.5 dB to 5 dB is obtained over conventional STBC-SM and SM-OSTBC schemes. This is demonstrated for spectral efficiencies of 4, 5, 7 and 8 bpcu. Analytical as well as Monte-Carlo simulations show that proposed SM-NSTBC outperforms STBC-SM and its variants. The upper bound on average bit error rate has been derived and the computation complexity for ML detection has been estimated. © 2019

    Generalized designs for precoded receive spatial modulation derived from non-orthogonal space time block codes
    (Springer, 2022) Shashikant, S.G.; G.D., G.D.G.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    In this paper, a new MIMO scheme termed as precoded Spatially Modulated Non-orthogonal Space Time Block Code (precoded SM-NSTBC) is proposed. The primary concept of precoded SM-NSTBC is to activate a subset of receive antennas in a pre-defined manner and choose specific activated patterns to represent information symbols. We have synthesized schemes derived from full rank Cyclic codes defined over Galois field Rank preserving transformations are used to map the full rank codewords over a finite field to full rank Space Time Block Codes. Due to the characteristics of full rank Cyclic codes employed, a performance improvement of approximately 2 dB to 7 dB is observed. This advantage is realized when the performance of these schemes is compared with precoded SM-OSTBC and precoded STBC-SM. The improvement due to the coding gain is observed in both uncorrelated as well as correlated Rayleigh fading environments. An upper bound on the average bit error rate (ABER) is derived. Close correspondence between Monte-Carlo simulations and analytic values are observed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
