This paper presents a video transmission system for scalable High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) videos using a 4G standard’s physical layer. SHVC, the scalable HEVC is used to compress the different layers of videos into binary files. The resultant binary files are easily transportable over any network thus solving many issues mainly related to videos with high resolutions. Three scenarios are studied and simulated at first, namely, Single Input Single Output (SISO), Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) and MIMO. Since the MIMO scenario offers the best results, it is considered in the implementation of the system on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using Xilinx System Generator (XSG). A Simulink model is developed under Matlab to simulate the video transmission scenarios using the WIMAX physical layer. Then, the MIMO system is implemented using a Zed-Board to co-simulate the video transmission in real-time and which allows a successful reception of the video sequences.

In this paper, we present a new multi-user chaos-based communication system using Faster-than-Nyquist sampling to achieve higher data rates and lower energy consumption. The newly designed system, designated Multi-user Faster Than Nyquist Differential Chaos Shift Keying (MU- FTN-DCSK), uses the traditional structure of Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) communication systems in combination with a filtering system that goes below the Nyquist limit for data sampling. The system is designed to simultaneously enable transmissions from multiple users through multiple sampling rates resulting in semi-orthogonal transmissions. The design, performance analysis, and experimental results of the MU-FTN-DCSK system are presented to demonstrate the utility of the newly proposed system in enabling multi-user communications and enhancing the spectral efficiency of the basic DCSK design without the addition of new blocks. The MU-FTN-DCSK system presented in this paper demonstrates spectral gains for one user of up to 23% and a combined gain of 25% for four (U=4) users. In this paper, we present a proof of concept demonstrating a new degree of freedom in the design of Chaos-based communication systems and their improvement in providing wireless transmissions without complicated signal processing tools or advanced hardware designs.
