Abstract

This paper proposes a novel [Formula: see text]-ary differential permutation index (DPI) differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) by using the Bahl–Cocke–Jeline–Raviv (BCJR) decoding (DPI-DCSK-BCJR) for chaos-based communications. By exploiting the characteristics of differential modulation and quasi-orthogonality of chaotic signals, the proposed DPI-DCSK-BCJR can provide two more calculated energies to decide the transmitted bits. Theoretical analysis of bit-error-rate (BER) is carried out over multipath Rayleigh fading channel and then validated via simulations. The proposed scheme is demonstrated to outperform the conventional DPI-DCSK by 2[Formula: see text]dB for different [Formula: see text]. This performance gain is especially increased over high-delay channels. Furthermore, the advantage of the proposed frequency-modulated DPI-DCSK-BCJR is verified over practical ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless channels. In addition, we investigate the proposed DPI-DCSK-BCJR for more generalized multiuser communications. The simulation result shows that DPI-DCSK-BCJR can achieve performance gains up to 5[Formula: see text]dB as compared to the conventional PI-DCSK and DPI-DCSK for both two and three user systems. Consequently, the proposed DPI-DCSK-BCJR can be considered as a low-cost alternative for low-complexity and high-rate chaotic-based wireless communication.
