In telecommunications, a particular place belongs to systems with a wideband noise-free signal, the undisputed advantage of which is increased by both narrowband and wideband interference, confidentiality of information transmission, as well as electromagnetic compatibility with adjacent electronic devices. A wideband noise-free signal is formed using a number of known modulated sequences - m-, Kasam-, Gold sequences, typically by direct spreading.Systems using known pseudo-random sequences cannot be considered protected from unauthorized access.An effective way to increase the confidentiality of signal transmission in a noise-free TSC is to use a chaotic signal-based PVP.Pseudorandom sequence generators are based on one-dimensional chaotic reflections such as logistics, quadratic, and cubic. Researches have shown the undeniable advantage of logistical reflection. The construction of hidden communication systems using the deterministic chaos phenomenon is progressive issue nowadays. Several main stages should be carried out for achieving the goal. These are providing of the stability degree of synchronization between the drive and response generators of the transmitter and receiver respectively, investigation of chaotic oscillation to estimate the noise similarity and hardware design of communication system. It is known that the stable synchronization mode is needed for the quality level of data recovery. Therefore the basic conditions were computed for unidirectional coupled chaotic generators for the purpose of providing of generalized synchronization. To construct the communication system with high hiding degree first of all it is necessary to select the chaotic carrier signal the spectral and statistical characteristics of which were similar to noise. Using the obtained results the hardware prototype of hidden communication system was constructed

In this paper, a scheme of a bidirectional hyperchaotic communication system is proposed. The hyperchaotic communication system including the transmitter and the receiver is composed of a pair of Chua circuit with coupling characteristics respectively. From the viewpoint of communication security, directly adopting the bidirectional communication system would provide a so-called "theoretical security". This is caused by the coupling relationship between the transmitter and the receiver. With the technique of frequency spectrum, the theoretical security of bidirectional communication systems can be proven. In other words, even if an intruder knows the parameter values of the system, he could not steal information from the system. As a result, it is not necessary for us to use the additional encryption. On the other hand, to achieve the synchronization of bidirectional communications, the method which applies a suitable Lyapunov function and the property of positive definite of a matrix is proposed to design the feedback controllers. Therefore, the message masked by chaotic signal from the transmitter can be perfectly recovered in the receiver. Finally, the simulation results can verify that the proposed method and the scheme of the bidirectional communication are favorable.

A new type of intelligent drilling communication system is proposed based on capacitance coupling in order to realize signal transmission in the downhole environment. A system model is established and the dispersion equation is derived. Group velocity, propagation constant, attenuation factor, and the terminal matching condition of the system are discussed according to theoretical derivations. Simulations of a large number of drill pipe units in the time domain, based on the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, are described to verify the mathematical derivations. An experimental system of lumped parameter components has been established, which verifies the effectiveness of the simulation. Analytical and simulation results show that the carrier frequency can be as high as 0.843 MHz, and that the bandwidth of the proposed system can reach up to about 406 kHz. The results can provide a theoretical basis and comprehensive design guidance for the frequency, communication rate, and bandwidth budget of intelligent drilling communication systems.

Wireless communications became one of the most widespread means for transferring information. Speed and reliability in transferring the piece of information are considered one of the most important requirements in communication systems in general. Moreover, Quality and reliability in any system are considered the most important criterion of the efficiency of this system in doing the task it is designed to do and its ability for satisfactory performance for a certain period of time, Therefore, we need fault tree analysis in these systems in order to determine how to detect an error or defect when happening in communication system and what are the possibilities that make this error happens. This research deals with studying TETRA system components, studying the physical layer in theory and practice, as well as studying fault tree analysis in this system, and later benefit from this study in proposing improvements to the structure of the system, which led to improve gain in Link Budget. A simulation and test have been done using MATLAB, where simulation results have shown that the built fault tree is able to detect the system’s work by 82.4%.

AbstractBacterial quorum sensing (QS) is based on signal molecules (SM), which increase in concentration with cell density. At critical SM concentration, a variety of adaptive genes sharply change their expression from basic level to maximum level. In general, this sharp transition, a hallmark of true QS, requires an SM dependent positive feedback loop, where SM enhances its own production. Some communication systems, like the peptide SM-based ComQXPA communication system of Bacillus subtilis, do not have this feedback loop and we do not understand how and if the sharp transition in gene expression is achieved. Based on experiments and mathematical modeling, we observed that the SM peptide ComX encodes the information about cell density, specific cell growth rate, and even oxygen concentration, which ensure power-law increase in SM production. This enables together with the cooperative response to SM (ComX) a sharp transition in gene expression level and this without the SM dependent feedback loop. Due to its ultra-sensitive nature, the ComQXPA can operate at SM concentrations that are 100–1000 times lower than typically found in other QS systems, thereby substantially reducing the total metabolic cost of otherwise expensive ComX peptide.

The paper describes the influence of power electronics, energy processing, and emergency radio systems (ERS) immunity testing on onboard aircraft equipment and ground stations providing air traffic services. The implementation of next-generation power electronics introduces potential hazards for the safety and reliability of aircraft systems, especially the interferences from power electronics with high-power processing. The paper focuses on clearly identifying, experimentally verifying, and quantifiably measuring the effects of power electronics processing using switching modes versus the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of emergency radio systems with electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI can be very critical when switching power radios utilize backup receivers, which are used as aircraft backup systems or airport last-resort systems. The switching power electronics process produces interfering electromagnetic energy to create problems with onboard aircraft radios or instrument landing system (ILS) avionics services. Analyses demonstrate significant threats and risks resulting from interferences between radio and power electronics in airborne systems. Results demonstrate the impact of interferences on intermediate-frequency processing, namely, for very high frequency (VHF) radios. The paper also describes the methodology of testing radio immunity against both weak and strong signals in accordance with recent aviation standards and guidance for military radio communication systems in the VHF band.

Accurate and comprehensive methods for the assessment of radiated electromagnetic emissions in modern electric transportation systems are a necessity. The characteristics and susceptibility of modern victim signaling and communication radio services, operating within and outside the right-of-way, require an update of the measurement methods integrating or replacing the swept frequency technique with time domain approaches. Applicable standards are the EN 50121 (equivalent to the IEC 62236) and Urban Mass Transport Association (UMTA) with additional specifications from project contracts. This work discusses the standardized methods and settings, and the representative operating conditions, highlighting areas where improvements are possible and opportune (statistical characterization of measurement results, identification and distinction of emissions and line resonances, and narrowband and broadband phenomena). In particular for the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) assessment with new Digital Communication Systems, the characterization of time distribution of spectral properties is discussed, e.g., by means of Amplitude Probability Distribution and including time distribution information. The problem of determination of site and setup uncertainty and repeatability is also discussed, observing on one hand the lack of clear indications in standards and, on the other hand, the non-ideality and intrinsic variability of measurement conditions (e.g., rolling stock operating conditions, synchronization issues, and electric arc intermittence).

Molecular communication is a bioinspired communication that enables macro-scale, micro-scale and nano-scale devices to communicate with each other. The molecular communication system is prone to severe signal attenuation, dispersion and delay, which leads to performance degradation as the distance between two communicating devices increases. To mitigate these challenges, relays are used to establish reliable communication in microfluidic channels. Relay assisted molecular communication systems can also enable interconnection among various entities of the lab-on-chip for sharing information. Various relaying schemes have been proposed for reliable molecular communication systems, most of which lack practical feasibility. Thus, it is essential to design and develop relays that can be practically incorporated into the microfluidic channel. This paper presents a novel design of passive in-line relay for molecular communication system that can be easily embedded in the microfluidic channel and operate without external energy. Results show that geometric modification in the microfluidic channel can act as a relay and restore the degraded signal up-to 28%.

AbstractMeasurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can remove all detection side-channels from quantum communication systems. The security proofs require, however, that certain assumptions on the sources are satisfied. This includes, for instance, the requirement that there is no information leakage from the transmitters of the senders, which unfortunately is very difficult to guarantee in practice. In this paper we relax this unrealistic assumption by presenting a general formalism to prove the security of MDI-QKD with leaky sources. With this formalism, we analyze the finite-key security of two prominent MDI-QKD schemes—a symmetric three-intensity decoy-state MDI-QKD protocol and a four-intensity decoy-state MDI-QKD protocol—and determine their robustness against information leakage from both the intensity modulator and the phase modulator of the transmitters. Our work shows that MDI-QKD is feasible within a reasonable time frame of signal transmission given that the sources are sufficiently isolated. Thus, it provides an essential reference for experimentalists to ensure the security of implementations of MDI-QKD in the presence of information leakage.
