A Stochastic Wireline Communication System

This paper proposes a stochastic wireline communication system. In the proposed stochastic system, the information is encoded in the statistical parameter of noise such as standard deviation, and the noise signal is transmitted on the channel. The receiver estimates the standard deviation of the received noise signal and recovers the information. A stochastic receiver architecture, which can differentiate between the noise signals with two different standard deviations is presented. Using mathematical modeling, this paper demonstrates that the proposed stochastic transceiver has a potential to improve the SNR by more than 3dB over a conventional uncoded deterministic transceiver.
