DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0062] The current DCSK communication technology is dominated by multi-carrier DCSK, which can be regarded as a parallel extension of the DCSK system. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional multi-carrier DCSK system utilizes subcarriers of different frequencies to carry reference signals and information-bearing signals. Specifically, each frame of transmission symbols consists of M subcarriers of different frequencies. After the chaotic generator generates a chaotic signal ex with a length of , .sub.x is carried by a subcarrier with a frequency of f.sub.1 and is used as the reference signal of the k-th transmission symbol. Then, the chaotic signal ex and the parallel bits obtained after series-parallel conversion are inputted into the modulator, which carries the information bits by using the polarity of the chaotic signal. Finally, the information-bearing signals are used by the M1 remaining subcarriers for transmission.

[0063] For ease of understanding, the k-th transmission symbol can be expressed as the M matrix, where the rows of the matrix represent different frequencies, and the columns of the matrix represent different time slots:

[00001] $e = {(\begin{matrix} _{1} & _{2} & .Math. & _{} \\ b_{k, 1}_{1} & b_{k, 1}_{2} & .Math. & _{} \\ .Math. & .Math. & .Math. \\ b_{k, M - 1}_{1} & b_{k, M - 1}_{2} & .Math. & b_{k, M - 1}_{} \end{matrix})}_{M} .$

[0064] The above formula can also be expressed as:

e.sub.k=[b.sub.k,0,b.sub.k,1, . . . ,b.sub.k,M1].sup.T.sub.x, [0065] where [b.sub.k,0, b.sub.k,1, . . . , b.sub.k,M1].sup.T is the information bit carried by the k-th transmission symbol, b.sub.k,0=1. When the binary modulation is used, the number of information bit that can be transmitted in one frame of the system is M1.

[0066] After receiving the signal by the receiving end, the matched filter separates the signals of different carriers to obtain the reference matrix A.sub.1 and the information-bearing matrix B.sub.(M1), respectively. Then, the matrices A.sub.1 and B.sub.(M1) perform the relevant operation to obtain the judgment variable matrix C.sub.(M1)1, and the judgment variable matrix C.sub.(M1)1 is expressed as:

C.sub.(M1)1=B.sub.(M1)(A.sub.1).sup.T.

[0067] After obtaining the judgment variable matrix, the information bit carried by the k-th transmission symbol can be estimated by using the judgment rule as follows:

[00002] ${\tilde{b}}_{k, m} = {\begin{matrix} 1 & C_{m, 1} > 0 \\ 0 & Otherwise \end{matrix}, m = 1, .Math. M - 1.$

[0068] Finally, the obtained parallel information bit is subjected to a parallel-to-serial conversion to output the final serial information bit.

[0069] Applicant has found that the conventional multi-carrier DCSK system can only obtain good BER performance in the flat fading channel conditions, and the performance of the conventional multi-carrier DCSK scheme will deteriorate under frequency-selective fading channels. To address this problem, the applicant found that because the conventional multi-carrier DCSK scheme uses subcarriers of different frequencies to carry the reference signal and the information-bearing signals, and under in the frequency-selective fading channel conditions, the good autocorrelation between the reference signal and the information-bearing signals will be destroyed due to the fact that the channel responses and delays of the subcarriers of different frequencies are different. In this case, the reference signal will not be able to be used as a reference for the information-bearing signal, resulting in the information bit not being recovered.

[0070] In view of this case, the present disclosure provides a reconstruction method and device for a multi-carrier DCSK signal to solve the technical problem of low communication reliability in the existing multi-carrier DCSK communication systems.

[0071] The technical solutions of the disclosure will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments to make the objects, features, and advantages of the disclosure clearer. Obviously, described below are merely some embodiments of the disclosure, which are not intended to limit the disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments obtained based on these embodiments without paying creative efforts should fall within the scope of the disclosure defined by the appended claims.

[0072] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the reconstruction method for a multi-carrier DCSK signal includes the following steps. [0073] (S101) An information bit sequence to be transmitted is acquired. [0074] (S102) The information bit sequence is processed by serial-to-parallel conversion. The processed information bit sequence is input into a modulator for modulation to obtain a modulated signal matrix.

[0075] It is to be noted that the information bit sequence to be transmitted is first obtained at the transmitting terminal. The information bits are mapped to the polarity of the chaotic signal in the subcarrier. Specifically, b.sub.k=[b.sub.k,1, b.sub.k,2, . . . , b.sub.k,j, . . . , b.sub.k,M] is the information bit matrix carried by the k-th transmission symbol, where b.sub.k,j{0,1}. Then, the serial information bit sequence b.sub.k is converted into the parallel sequence and input into the modulator to obtain the modulated signal matrix s.sub.k=[s.sub.k,1, s.sub.k,2, . . . , s.sub.k,M].sup.T, where s.sub.k,j{1,1}, and ().sup.T denotes a substitution operation. [0076] (S103) The cross multiplication is performed between the modulated signal matrix and a chaotic signal to obtain an original information-bearing matrix.

[0077] The chaotic generator generates the chaotic signal c=[c.sub.1, c.sub.2, . . . , c.sub.], where i=1, 2, . . . , , is the length of the chaotic signal, satisfies |M, and | denotes an integer division symbol. Therefore, the chaotic signal c can also be represented as c=[.sub.1, .sub.2, . . . , .sub.j, . . . , .sub.M], where j=1, 2, . . . , M .sub.k=[c.sub.(j1)/M+1, . . . , c.sub.j/M]. To illustrate the principle of the reconstruction matrix-assisted multi-carrier DCSK system, a vector .sub.j is regarded as an element in a matrix in the matrix transformation process.

[0078] Based on the modulated signal matrix obtained in S102 and the chaotic signal generated by the chaos generator, the modulated signal matrix s.sub.k and the chaotic signal c are cross-multiplied to obtain the original information-bearing matrix e.sub.k,inf, expressed as follows:

[00003] $\begin{matrix} e_{k, \inf} = s_{k} c \\ = {[\begin{matrix} s_{k, 1}_{1} & s_{k, 1}_{2} & .Math. & s_{k, 1}_{M} \\ s_{k, 2}_{1} & s_{k, 2}_{2} & .Math. & s_{k, 2}_{M} \\ .Math. & .Math. & .Math. \\ s_{k, M}_{1} & s_{k, M}_{2} & .Math. & s_{k, M}_{M} \end{matrix}]}_{M M} \\ = {[s_{k, 1} c, .Math., s_{k, j} c, .Math., s_{k, M} c]}^{T} \end{matrix};$ [0079] where the rows of the matrix represent the frequencies, and the columns of the matrix represent times. [0080] (S104) According to the predetermined reconstruction matrix, the original information-bearing matrix is reconstructed to obtain the information-bearing reconstruction matrix.

[0081] Then, based on the original information-bearing matrix obtained in the previous step, the original information-bearing matrix is reconstructed using the predetermined reconstruction matrix to obtain the information-bearing reconstruction matrix.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 4, the step 104 includes the following steps. [0083] (S1041) The original information-bearing matrix is divided into M original information-bearing submatrices according to the number M of subcarriers of a DCSK system. [0084] (S1042) According to M predetermined reconstruction matrices, a Hadamard product is respectively performed between each of the M original information-bearing submatrices and a corresponding predetermined reconstruction matrix to obtain M information-bearing reconstruction submatrices. [0085] (S1043) The M information-bearing reconstruction submatrices are summed to obtain the information-bearing reconstruction matrix.

[0086] It should be noted that in the frequency-selective fading channel, the channel response of each subcarrier is independent. In this embodiment, in order to obtain the frequency diversity, the reconstruction matrix is used to reconstruct the information-bearing matrix. There are M reconstruction submatrices per frame of the transmission symbols. Each row of the information-bearing matrix (i.e., each information-bearing subcarrier) corresponds to one reconstruction matrix. The j-th subcarrier corresponds to the reconstruction matrix .sub.j.

[0087] The reconstruction matrix satisfies the following three conditions. [0088] (1) The number of rows and the number of columns of the reconstruction matrix .sub.j correspond to the number M of subcarriers of the DCSK system, i.e., M rows and M columns. [0089] (2) Each reconstruction matrix must satisfy that only one element in each row and column is 1, and all other elements are 0. [0090] (3) The sum of the M reconstruction matrices for each frame of the transmission symbols is the unity matrix of M rows and M columns, i.e., .sub.1+.sub.2+ . . . +.sub.M=I.sub.MM.

[0091] To introduce the matrix reconstruction by taking the j-th subcarrier as an example, the Hadamard product operation is performed on s.sub.k,lc.sup.T and .sub.j to generate a reconstructed information-bearing submatrix .sub.k,inf,j, expressed as:

.sub.k,inf,j[s.sub.k,j.sub.1,s.sub.k,j.sub.2. . . s.sub.k,j.sub.M].sub.T.sub.j.

[0092] In above formula, denotes the Hadamard product operation. Without loss of generality, assuming that .sub.j is a diagonal matrix, the reconstructed information-bearing submatrix can be expressed as:

[00004] $e_{k, \inf, j} = {[\begin{matrix} s_{k, 1}_{1} & 0 & .Math. & 0 \\ 0 & s_{k, 2}_{2} & .Math. & 0 \\ .Math. & .Math. & .Math. \\ 0 & 0 & .Math. & s_{k, M}_{M} \end{matrix}]}_{M M} .$

[0093] Thus, after the above reconstruction operation, M reconstructed information-bearing submatrix can be obtained. Then, the reconstructed information-bearing matrices are obtained by summing M reconstructed information-bearing submatrices.

.sub.k,inf=.sub.k,inf,1+.sub.k,inf,2 . . . +.sub.k,inf,j . . . +.sub.k,inf,M. [0094] (S105) According to the information-bearing reconstruction matrix and the reference signal matrix, a transmission symbol is generated by combining the frame structure information of the transmission symbol. The transmission symbol is used to be sent to the receiving end through the wireless network, to enable the receiving end to demodulate the received signal according to the reconstruction matrix.

[0095] Then, elements of the chaotic signal are equally distributed according to the number of subcarriers of the DCSK system to obtain the reference signal matrix e.sub.kref=[.sub.1, .sub.2, . . . , .sub.M].sup.T. The transmission symbol e.sub.k,tra is generated, the k-th transmission symbol e.sub.k,tra can be expressed as e.sub.k,tra=[e.sub.k,ref, e.sub.k,inf], where e.sub.k,tra is a matrix of M rows and (M+1)/M columns. The spreading factor of the system is (M+1)/M. In order to illustrate the above reconstruction operation more clearly, the frame structure of the transmission symbols when the number of subcarriers is 3 is shown in FIG. 5. Finally, the k-th transmission symbol is similarly reconstructed as .sub.k,tra=[e.sub.k,ref,.sub.k,inf].

[0096] Finally, the transmission symbol .sub.k,tra=[.sub.k,ref,.sub.k,inf] is sent to the receiving end via the wireless network to enable the receiving end to demodulate the received signal according to the predetermined reconstruction matrix, thereby restoring the information bit to be transmitted.

[0097] In an embodiment, the received signal is demodulated by the receiving end according to the predetermined reconstruction matrix through the following steps.

[0098] The receiving end performs filter matching on the received signal and obtains a received signal matrix in combination with a predetermined channel response model matrix. The received signal matrix is decomposed into a reference matrix and an information-bearing matrix.

[0099] Based on the reference matrix, the information-bearing matrix, and the predetermined reconstruction matrix, a decision metric matrix is calculated. The received signal is restored based on the decision metric matrix in combination with a decision rule.

[0100] It is to be noted that k-th transmission symbols are sent to the receiver through the frequency-selective multipath fading channel. The channel response is assumed to remain constant over a symbol period. Thus, the channel response can be modeled as a matrix form as follows:

[00005] $H = {[{.Math.}_{l = 1}^{L_{1}} h_{l} (t -_{l}), .Math., {.Math.}_{l = 1}^{L_{M}} h_{l} (t -_{l})]}^{T} .$

[0101] In the multipath fading channel, L.sub.M is the number of paths of the M-th subcarrier. h.sub.l and .sub.l denote the fading coefficient and delay of the l-th path, respectively. Therefore, after the received signal passes through the matched filter, the received signal matrix R.sub.k,rec can be obtained as:

R.sub.k,rec=[e.sub.k,ref,.sub.k,inf].Math.H+N.

[0102] In above formula, .Math. represents a convolution symbol; and N=[N.sub.1, . . . , N.sub.M].sup.T represents the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). In order to estimate the information bits, the received signal matrix R.sub.k,rec is divided into the reference matrix R.sub.k,ref and the information-bearing matrix R.sub.k,inf. The decision metric matrix D.sub.k,j corresponding to the information bit b.sub.k,j is obtained by matrix operation. The decision metric matrix D.sub.k,j is expressed as:

D.sub.k,j=R.sub.k,ref*V.sub.jR.sub.k,inf; [0103] where R.sub.k,ref is the reference matrix; R.sub.k,inf is the information-bearing matrix; * is a Kronecker product operation; V is an all-ones matrix with a size of 1M; and .sub.j is the predetermined reconstruction matrix.

[0104] It can be seen from the above formula that to recover the information bit at the receiving end, it is necessary to know the reconstruction matrices used at the transmitting end, as well as the order of the subcarriers corresponding to each reconstruction matrix, thereby completing the demodulation process at the receiving end. This greatly improves the information security of the DCSK system.

[0105] Finally, the elements of the decision metric matrix D.sub.k,j are summed to obtain the final decision metric {circumflex over (D)}.sub.k,j. Finally, the decision metrics are inputted into the decision threshold to estimate the information bits {circumflex over (b)}.sub.k,j, and the decision rules are as follows:

[00006] ${\hat{b}}_{k, j} = {\begin{matrix} 1 & {\hat{D}}_{k, j} > 0 \\ 0 & Otherwise \end{matrix}, j = 1, .Math. M .$

[0106] Described above is the detailed description of embodiments of the multi-carrier DCSK signal reconstruction method in the disclosure. Compared with the existing multi-carrier DCSK technology, the present disclosure provides a reconstruction matrix-assisted multi-carrier DCSK system considering the characteristics of frequency-selective fading channels. The conventional multi-carrier DCSK schemes are developed under the assumption of flat fading channels, and do not have the feasibility of operating in frequency-selective fading channels. The scheme in the present disclosure has performance advantages over the conventional multi-carrier DCSK schemes both under flat fading channels and under frequency-selective fading channels, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.

[0107] FIG. 6 illustrates comparison of BER performances of the reconstruction matrix-assisted multi-carrier DCSK system, the conventional multi-carrier DCSK system, and the DCSK system under the frequency-selective fading channel, where the spreading factor is set to 240, and the number of subcarriers is set to 2, 3, and 4, respectively. FIG. 7 provides a comparison of BER performance of the reconstruction matrix-assisted multi-carrier DCSK system, the conventional multi-carrier DCSK system, and the DCSK system under the flat fading channel, where the spreading factor is set to 180, and the number of subcarriers is 3 and 4, respectively.
