Using multiple attractor chaotic systems for communication.
In recent work with symmetric chaotic systems, we synchronized two such systems with one-way driving. The drive system had two possible attractors, but the response system always synchronized with the drive system. In this work, we show how we may combine two attractor chaotic systems with a multiplexing technique first developed by Tsimring and Suschick to make a simple communications system. We note that our response system is never synchronized to our drive system (not even in a generalized sense), but we are still able to transmit information. We characterize the performance of the communications system when noise is added to the transmitted signal.
