In this paper, an M -ary orthogonal multilevel differential chaos shift keying system with code index modulation (CIM-OM-MDCSK) is proposed. In the proposed system, the multiple information bearing signals are modulated by the selected Walsh codes with specific indices and the M -ary information signals which are composed of modulated bits, chaotic signals, and their Hilbert transform. Since the reference signal along with the information bearing signals are overlapping in time domain and orthogonal in code domain by using Walsh code sequences, the spectral efficiency of the CIM-OM-MDCSK system is improved largely. By combining the M -ary modulation, orthogonal multilevel modulation, and code index modulation, the proposed CIM-OM-MDCSK system can achieve high data rate and superior bit error rate (BER) performance compared to its rivals. Moreover, we derive the BER expressions of the proposed system over additive white Gaussian noise and multipath Rayleigh fading channels. Finally, we make a performance comparison between the proposed system and other state-of-the-art non-coherent chaotic communication systems. The results confirm the competitive benefits of the proposed system.
