title: Synchronization and chaotic masking scheme based on occasional coupling
abstract: We present a synchronization and a related chaotic masking scheme for discrete-time systems. This method is based on occasional coupling of transmitter and receiver systems. We show that the synchronization may be achieved and the message can be recovered with acceptable error under certain conditions. Then we show that the proposed schemes are robust with respect to noise and parameter mismatch. We also present some simulation results.
