A New Chaotic Map for Secure Transmission
The secure communication through synchronization between two identic chaotic systems have recently gained a lot of interest. To implement a robust secure system based on synchronization, there is always a need to generate new discrete dynamical systems and investigate their performances in terms of amount of randomness they have and the ability to achieve synchronization smoothly. In this work, a new chaotic system, named Nahrain, is proposed and tested for the possible use in secure transmission via chaos synchronization as well as in cryptography applications. The performance of the proposed chaotic system is tested using 0-1 test, while NIST suite tests are used to check the randomness statistical properties. The nonlinear control laws are used to verify the synchronization of master-slave parts of the proposed system. The simulation results show that Nahrain system has chaotic behavior and synchronizable, while the equivalent binary sequence of the system has excellent randomness statistical properties. The numerical results obtained using MATLAB for 0-1 test was 0.9864, and for frequency test was 0.4202, while for frequency test within a block was 0.4311. As a result, the new proposed system can be used to develop efficient encryption and synchronization algorithms for multimedia secure transmission applications
Comparative study of selected subcarrier index modulation OFDM schemes
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier index modulation (SIM-OFDM) is recently proposed to enhance the performance of traditional OFDM. By incorporating the index modulation in OFDM, the data can be sent on the indices of subcarriers as well as the subcarriers themselves reducing the system complexity. In addition, the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) can be reduced by switching on /off some OFDM subcarriers in OOK fashion. In this paper, a comparative study of OFDM with SIM_OFDM and Enhanced SIM_OFDM methods in terms of complexity, spectral efficiency and bit error rate over AWGN channel using two power policies is presented. The simulation results showed that at bit error rate of 10-3, SIM_OFDM and ESIM_OFDM achieved gains in Eb/No of 1.1 dB and 2 dB over 4-QAM OFDM respectively under power reallocation policy. However, the results also showed that traditional OFDM has better spectral efficiency compared to both SIM_OFDM and ESIM_OFDM especially at high M-ary orders

Energy Consumption Control in Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Cognitive Radio using Variable Spectrum Sensing Sampling
In cognitive radio (CR) network, the concept of energy-efficient design is very important considering the costly energy consumption that may limit its implementation, especially in battery-powered devices. In these networks, significant part of the energy is consumed in the energy detector during spectrum sensing to detect the presence and absence of the primary user (PU). In this paper, we investigated the reduction of energy consumption in two scenarios: the non-cooperative scenario and the cooperative scenario by reducing the number of sensed samples. We also explained the optimisation criteria for improving energy consumption by controlling the number of sensed samples, and the detection probability in both scenarios. The performance of energy detection system was evaluated in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that in non-cooperative scenario at Eb/No of 10 dB, 50% and 46% of the energy consumed in the detection was saved when the number of sensed samples was reduced by 50% with acceptable loss in detection probability of 5% and 12% in AWGN and Rayleigh channel respectively. In cooperative scenario, the result shows that increasing the number of cognitive users (CU) reduced the average energy consumption per sensor and improved the detection probability
A combined spectrum sensing method based DCT for cognitive radio system
In this paper a new hybrid blind spectrum sensing method is proposed. The method is designed to enhance the detection performance of Conventional Energy Detector (CED) through combining it with a proposed sensing module based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficientās relationship as operation mode at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) values. In the proposed sensing module a certain factor called Average Ratio (AR) represent the ratio of energy in DCT coefficients is utilized to identify the presence of the Primary User (PU) signal. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves PU detection especially at low SNR values
Efficient error correcting scheme for chaos shift keying signals
An effective error-correction scheme based on normalized correlation for a non coherent chaos communication system with no redundancy bits is proposed in this paper. A modified logistic map is used in the proposed scheme for generating two sequences, one for every data bit value, in a manner that the initial value of the next chaotic sequence is set by the second value of the present chaotic sequence of the similar symbol. This arrangement, thus, has the creation of successive chaotic sequences with identical chaotic dynamics for error correction purpose. The detection symbol is performed prior to correction, on the basis of the suboptimal receiver which anchors on the computation of the shortest distance existing between the received sequence and the modified logistic mapās chaotic trajectory. The results of the simulation reveal noticeable Eb/No improvement by the proposed scheme over the prior to the error- correcting scheme with the improvement increasing whenever there is increase in the number of sequence N. Prior to the error-correcting scheme when N=8, a gain of 1.3 dB is accomplished in Eb/No at 10-3 bit error probability. On the basis of normalized correlation, the most efficient point in our proposed error correction scheme is the absence of any redundant bits needed with minimum delay procedure, in contrast to earlier method that was based on suboptimal method detection and correction. Such performance would render the scheme good candidate for applications requiring high rates of data transmission
Design of smart wireless changeover for continuous electric current feeding from power sources of variable capacities
Electric power has become a vital element for life today. Despite this importance, electric power consumers in Iraq suffer from the problem of noncontinuity and daily electric power supply interruption. This problem led to the use of various sources of electric power as an alternative to compensate for the shortage of electric power provided by the Iraqi national grid. In this work, a smart wireless changeover device is designed using wireless sensor networks technology aiming to solve problem caused by the multiplicity of power sources received at home and governmental buildings in Iraq by controlling operation of some electrical devices (which consume high current) in the home or workplace automatically when changing source of electricity from one to another. This solution will help to ensure the continuity of electric current feeding from power sources of variable capacities, also, to rationalize power consumption by assigning an operation priority to electric devices. Furthermore, a statistical measurement as a case study was performed in a building with a total power consumption of 160.8 KW/h. The result showed that the device functions effectively and it is capable of achieving an average saving in power of about 50% to 86% depending on the applied priorities and case study scenario
An Improved M-ary Modulation Scheme Based on Chaotic Dynamics, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2019, nr 4
This paper proposes an improved chaos-based M-ary modulation system. It reproduces deterministic chaotic dynamics to create M-ary non-coherent modulation. The proposed modulation system transmits data using autonomous chaotic sequences. It separates the chaotic dynamics through the use of interleavers and realigns them through the use deinterleavers. The simulation results show that the improved scheme overperforms its traditional counterpart. The degree of improvement grows as the M-ary order is increased, with a penalty of increased system complexit
Implementation of Selected Spectrum Sensing Systems for Cognitive Radio Networks using FPGA Platform, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2018, nr 4
The energy eļ¬cient spectrum sensing method is very important in cognitive radio (CR), since high power drain may limit its implementation in mobile applications. The spectrum sensing feature consumes more energy than other functional blocks, as it depends on continuous detection of the presence or absence of the primary user (PU). In this paper, we proposed two methods to reduce energy consumption of the spectrum sensing feature. The ļ¬rst is of a single stage variety with a reduced number of sensed samples. The other uses two stages. The ļ¬rst stage performs coarse sensing for many subchannels, and the best subchannel is forwarded for ļ¬ne sensing in the second stage. The performance of the proposed methods is evaluated in AWGN channel and compared with the existing approach. The proposed methods are simulated using Matlab and ModelSim and are then hardware implemented using the Altera Cyclone II FPGA board. Simulation results show that the proposed methods oļ¬er an improvement in energy consumption with an acceptable reduction in the probability of detection. At Eb/N0 Eb/N0 Eb/N0 of 0 dB, the energy consumption is reduced by 50% and 72% in the ļ¬rst and second proposed method, respectively, compared to the traditional method (100% sensing)
