Hybrid clipping and companding techniques based peak to average power ratio reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based differential chaos shift keying system

In this paper, a hybrid approach using clipping and companding techniques is introduced to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based differential chaos shift keying (OFDM-DCSK), which is the major drawback of the OFDM-DCSK. The hybrid function is processed at the end of the transmitter before transmitting the signal. However, there is no need for an inverse function at the receiver, which decreases the system complexity. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature for decreasing the PAPR value. Clipping and companding are active methods in terms of reducing the PAPR. Finally, the PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) performances are evaluated. The simulation results show that this technique gives better performance as compared with the clipping and companding techniques

Physical Layer Security using Time-Reversal Pre-Coding based OFDM-DCSK Communication System with Artificial Noise Injection

In this paper, Time-Reversal (TR) pre-coding with Artificial Noise (AN) injection is proposed to enhance the physical layer security (PLS) performance in orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-Differential Chaos Shift Keying (OFDM-DCSK) system, which is named the TRAN-OFDM-DCSK system. This approach is provided to achieve high data rates, high PL data security, and high reliability performance. The AN signal does not spoil the transmitted data to the genuine receiver, but it reduces the ungenuine detection performance. This system ensures the secrecy of communication to the genuine receiver when the sender knows the Channel State Information (CSI) of the genuine communication link. Still, the information about the instantaneous CSI of a possible eavesdropper does not know the transmitter. The performance of the proposed TRAN-OFDM-DCSK system is investigated and tested under a Flat Rayleigh Fading Channel (FRFC). An approach is provided for calculating the performance of Bit Error Rate (BER), and the expression of BER analytical is derived and compared with the simulation version. Furthermore, the ergodic Secrecy Rate (SR) is derived and analyzed at the genuine and ungenuine receivers over the FRFC. Our result shows the best performance for the genuine receiver compared with ungenuine receiver regarding secrecy performance for BER and SR
