$M$-DCSK-Based Chaotic Communications in MIMO Multipath Channels With No Channel State Information

摘要

We consider chaotic digital communications in multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) wireless multipath fading channels. In particular, we focus on systems that employ $M$ -ary differential chaos shift keying ($M$-DCSK). We consider two transceiver schemes, both of which require no channel state information at either the transmitter or the receiver. The first one employs a distinct chaotic sequence at each transmit antenna to spread the same data symbol and transmits omnidirectionally. At each receive antenna, the corresponding differential detection statistic is formed, and these statistics are then combined with equal gain for symbol detection. The second scheme employs a single chaotic spreading sequence and makes use of adaptive transmit and receive beamforming. The beamformers are updated by using a simple stochastic gradient method that is based on the received signal power and a finite-rate feedback strategy. Simulation results show that both schemes can effectively exploit the spatial diversity of the underlying MIMO system, and the adaptive beamforming scheme significantly outperforms the omnidirectional transmission.
