Autocorrelation Invariance Property of Chaos for Wireless Communication
share
A new feature of the chaotic signal generated by chaotic shape-forming filter (CSF) is uncovered in this work. We find that, the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the transmitting signal generated by CSF keeps the same as that of the base function of CSF, no matter what information is encoded. We derive the analytical equation to describe the relation between the ACF of the received signal and the wireless channel parameters using the ACF of the transmitted signal as prior knowledge revealed by the finding in this work. This new property can be utilized together with different wireless communication systems to improve the system performance. Specially, to demonstrate the improvement, channel state information (CSI) is identified using the chaotic baseband wireless communication as a paradigm. Two significant benefits by using the new property are 1) the CSI can be identified without the probe information known to the receiver as done in the conventional wireless communication systems, which improves the bandwidth efficiency, especially in the time-varying channel; 2) the correlation operation is insensitive to the channel noise, which improves the identification accuracy as compared to the commonly used methods.
