Block-error probabilities for mobile radio channels derived from chaos equations

A novel approach to model mobile radio channels (in particular, DECT ones) is introduced, using nonlinear equations proposed by chaos theory. A simple procedure to extract meaningful statistics from strange attractors' trajectories is presented, and some results well matched with those obtained by standard generative models are shown. Although introducing a quasi-deterministic behavior, the chaotic equations seem to be sufficient to mimic the apparently random error patterns exhibited by mobile radio channels. An initial attempt is made to sketch guidelines for selecting the chaotic parameters.
