Secure Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Communications Based on F–M Synchronization of Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems with Non-Identical Dimensions and Orders
This paper investigates the F – M synchronization between non-identical fractional-order systems characterized by different dimensions and different orders. F – M synchronization combines the inverse generalized synchronization with the matrix projective synchronization. In particular, the proposed approach enables the F – M synchronization to be achieved between an n-dimensional master system and an m-dimensional slave system. The developed approach is applied to chaotic and hyperchaotic fractional systems with the aim of illustrating its applicability and suitability. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) secure communication system is also developed by using the F – M synchronization and verified through computer simulations.
