Chaos-Based Communication Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The application of chaotic systems in communications has been extensively explored over the last several decades. Chaotic systems are used as an efficient, deterministic high-entropy source that can mask information signals for safe transmission through public channels. They can also be used is relevant security related applications like watermarking and cryptography.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent developments in chaos-based communication systems. Contributions can address any type of chaotic system, and any relevant application. Novel methodologies and experimental implementations are welcome. Review articles are also invited.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Chaos-based secure communications;
• Chaos-based modulation techniques;
• Chaos and cryptography;
• Chaotic optical communication systems;
• Data encryption;
• Nonlinear circuits for chaos-based communications;
• Statistical analysis and optimization of chaos-based communications;
• Synchronization and control of chaotic systems;
• Watermarking;
• 5G and next-generation chaos-based wireless communication.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Telecom is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
