Transmission of digital chaotic and information-bearing signals in optical communication systems

A new proposal to have secure communications in a system is reported. The basis is the use of a synchronized digital chaotic systems, sending the information signal added to an initial chaos. The received signal is analyzed by another chaos generator located at the receiver and, by a logic boolean function of the chaotic and the received signals, the original information is recovered. One of the most important facts of this system is that the bandwidth needed by the system remain the same with and without chaos.

Chaotic communication based on the particle-in-a-box electronic circuit

A secure communication system based on the error-feedback synchronization of the electronic model of the particle-in-a-box system is proposed. This circuit allows a robust and simple electronic emulation of the mechanical behavior of the collisions of a particle inside a box, exhibiting rich chaotic behavior. The required nonlinearity to emulate the box walls is implemented in a simple way when compared with other analog electronic chaotic circuits. A master/slave synchronization of two circuits exhibiting a rich chaotic behavior demonstrates the potentiality of this system to secure communication. In this system, binary data stream information modulates the bifurcation parameter of the particle-in-a-box electronic circuit in the transmitter. In the receiver circuit, this parameter is estimated using Pecora-Carroll synchronization and error-feedback synchronization. The performance of the demodulation process is verified through the eye pattern technique applied on the recovered bit stream. During the demodulation process, the error-feedback synchronization presented better performance compared with the Pecora-Carroll synchronization. The application of the particle-in-a-box electronic circuit in a secure communication system is demonstrated.

Diseño de sistemas de comunicaciones de alta velocidad. Design of high-speed communication systems.

El crecimiento exponencial del tráfico de datos es uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrentan actualmente los sistemas de comunicaciones, debiendo los mismos ser capaces de soportar velocidades de procesamiento de datos cada vez mas altas. En particular, el consumo de potencia se ha transformado en uno de los parámetros de diseño más críticos, generando la necesidad de investigar el uso de nuevas arquitecturas y algoritmos para el procesamiento digital de la información. Por otro lado, el análisis y evaluación de nuevas técnicas de procesamiento presenta dificultades dadas las altas velocidades a las que deben operar, resultando frecuentemente ineficiente el uso de la simulación basada en software como método. En este contexto, el uso de electrónica programable ofrece una oportunidad a bajo costo donde no solo se evaluan nuevas técnicas de diseño de alta velocidad sino también se valida su implementación en desarrollos tecnológicos. El presente proyecto tiene como objetivo principal el estudio y desarrollo de nuevas arquitecturas y algoritmos en electrónica programable para el procesamiento de datos a alta velocidad. El método a utilizar será la programación en dispositivos FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) que ofrecen una buena relación costo-beneficio y gran flexibilidad para integrarse con otros dispositivos de comunicaciones. Para la etapas de diseño, simulación y programación se utilizaran herramientas CAD (Computer-Aided Design) orientadas a sistemas electrónicos digitales. El proyecto beneficiara a estudiantes de grado y postgrado de carreras afines a la informática y las telecomunicaciones, contribuyendo al desarrollo de proyectos finales y tesis doctorales. Los resultados del proyecto serán publicados en conferencias y/o revistas nacionales e internacionales y divulgados a través de charlas de difusión y/o encuentros. El proyecto se enmarca dentro de un área de gran importancia para la Provincia de Córdoba, como lo es la informática y las telecomunicaciones, y promete generar conocimiento de gran valor agregado que pueda ser transferido a empresas tecnológicas de la Provincia de Córdoba a través de consultorias o desarrollos de productos.

The establishment of communication systems depends on the scale of competition

How communication systems emerge and remain stable is an important question in both cognitive science and evolutionary biology. For communication to arise, not only must individuals cooperate by signaling reliable information, but they must also coordinate and perpetuate signals. Most studies on the emergence of communication in humans typically consider scenarios where individuals implicitly share the same interests. Likewise, most studies on human cooperation consider scenarios where shared conventions of signals and meanings cannot be developed de novo. Here, we combined both approaches with an economic experiment where participants could develop a common language, but under different conditions fostering or hindering cooperation. Participants endeavored to acquire a resource through a learning task in a computer-based environment. After this task, participants had the option to transmit a signal (a color) to a fellow group member, who would subsequently play the same learning task. We varied the way participants competed with each other (either global scale or local scale) and the cost of transmitting a signal (either costly or noncostly) and tracked the way in which signals were used as communication among players. Under global competition, players signaled more often and more consistently, scored higher individual payoffs, and established shared associations of signals and meanings. In addition, costly signals were also more likely to be used under global competition; whereas under local competition, fewer signals were sent and no effective communication system was developed. Our results demonstrate that communication involves both a coordination and a cooperative dilemma and show the importance of studying language evolution under different conditions influencing human cooperation.

Single-carrier frequency domain equalisation for hammerstein communication systems using complex-valued neural networks

Single-carrier (SC) block transmission with frequency-domain equalisation (FDE) offers a viable transmission technology for combating the adverse effects of long dispersive channels encountered in high-rate broadband wireless communication systems. However, for high bandwidthefficiency and high power-efficiency systems, the channel can generally be modelled by the Hammerstein system that includes the nonlinear distortion effects of the high power amplifier (HPA) at transmitter. For such nonlinear Hammerstein channels, the standard SC-FDE scheme no longer works. This paper advocates a complex-valued (CV) B-spline neural network based nonlinear SC-FDE scheme for Hammerstein channels. Specifically, We model the nonlinear HPA, which represents the CV static nonlinearity of the Hammerstein channel, by a CV B-spline neural network, and we develop two efficient alternating least squares schemes for estimating the parameters of the Hammerstein channel, including both the channel impulse response coefficients and the parameters of the CV B-spline model. We also use another CV B-spline neural network to model the inversion of the nonlinear HPA, and the parameters of this inverting B-spline model can easily be estimated using the standard least squares algorithm based on the pseudo training data obtained as a natural byproduct of the Hammerstein channel identification. Equalisation of the SC Hammerstein channel can then be accomplished by the usual one-tap linear equalisation in frequency domain as well as the inverse B-spline neural network model obtained in time domain. Extensive simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of our nonlinear SC-FDE scheme for Hammerstein channels.

New opportunities for secure communication networks using shaped femtosecond laser pulses inducing filamentation processes in the atmosphere

The current study discusses new opportunities for secure ground to satellite communications using shaped femtosecond pulses that induce spatial hole burning in the atmosphere for efficient communications with data encoded within super-continua generated by femtosecond pulses. Refractive index variation across the different layers in the atmosphere may be modelled using assumptions that the upper strata of the atmosphere and troposphere behaving as layered composite amorphous dielectric networks composed of resistors and capacitors with different time constants across each layer. Input-output expressions of the dynamics of the networks in the frequency domain provide the transmission characteristics of the propagation medium. Femtosecond pulse shaping may be used to optimize the pulse phase-front and spectral composition across the different layers in the atmosphere. A generic procedure based on evolutionary algorithms to perform the pulse shaping is proposed. In contrast to alternative procedures that would require ab initio modelling and calculations of the propagation constant for the pulse through the atmosphere, the proposed approach is adaptive, compensating for refractive index variations along the column of air between the transmitter and receiver.
