Abstract

In this paper, we present a generalized accurate methodology to predict the bit error rate performance for non-coherent chaos-based communication systems. The Gaussian approximation approach, which is widely used to compute the performance of such systems, leads to inaccurate results, especially with respect to low spreading factors. Our new approach based on the chaos bit energy distribution gives accurate results even for low spreading factors. The system is studied and simulated under an additive white Gaussian noise, Rice and Rayleigh channels. Finally, we compare our approach to the Gaussian approximation approach. Computer simulations shows a high accuracy for our method, especially for small spreading factors.
