Ultrawideband Wireless Networks and Statistical Properties of Receiver of Chaotic Signals.
L. V. Kuzmin

This work is devoted to investigation of statistical properties of ensemble of ultrawideband (UWB) wireless channels of a given class of indoor channel models from the point of view of achievable bitrates for a prescribed value of Bit-Error-Ratio (BER) in the direct chaotic communication scheme (DCCS), when the bitrate is limited by the multipath interference. The evaluation was done by means of direct numerical simulation of noncoherent reception of chaotic signals that came through multipath channels, whose pulse response functions were obtained from the statistical model of multipath channels of IEEE 802.15.3a working group. In approximation of dominant multipath interference (multipath propagation), for the chaotic signal bandwidths 500 and 2000 MHz the fraction of channels with practically important BER providing bitrates 10 to 50 Mbps was evaluated (PB ~ 10-5...10-4). For the first time the role of a small fraction of channels (less than 5...20%) with high BER PB is found that has essential effect on the BER vs bitrate averaged over ensemble of channels of the given class. It was shown that the value is practically important characteristic of significant fraction of channels (~ 80...95%).
Key words: chaotic signal, wireless channel, multipath interference, network
