Secure communication for non-ideal channel via robust TS fuzzy observer-based hyperchaotic synchronization

This paper proposes a novel hyperchaotic secure communication scheme for non-ideal communication channels. The proposed approach employs Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique to design a controller which synchronizes the hyperchaotic transmitter and receiver systems. In the presented method, only few numbers of states are needed to be transformed which is consistent with the practical limitations of a non-ideal channel and highly secure communication. Therefore, a robust fuzzy observer is proposed to estimate the other states of the transmitter at the receiver side. Furthermore, since the channel is non-ideal, H os performance criterion is employed to derive robust observer and controller against the external disturbance and noise. In order to make the proposed approach more applicable, the sufficient controller and observer design conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be solved by convex optimization techniques. In addition, to further remove the effect of the noise on the information recovery, a moving average filter is utilized. Finally, to show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach, the hyperchaotic Lorenz system is considered and the signal is analyzed at the transmitter and receiver sides. Then, the results obtained show the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method compared with those of the existing approaches. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
