Description: NONLINEAR DIGITAL COiViMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a communication system which can use existing telecommunication or power infrastructures to provide higher data transfer volumes, at improved transmission throughput rates, and over a broader bandwidth. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus and method for carrying a desired signal on the noise components inherent to a particular conduit. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Increasing the bandwidth of data transfer on transmission conduits is extremely important in today's high volume information transmission environment. The need for broader telecommunication bandwidths comes from several modern data transmission requirements. First, the higher bandwidths allow larger volumes of data to transmit in a shorter amount of time. This has become increasingly important as the size of data transmissions has continually grown. Modern examples of this desire for broader telecommunications bandwidths include the medical community's desire to transmit optical images of, for example, x-rays and CAT scans between remote hospitals and physicians. Such transmissions require greater bandwidths to transmit the large size data files in reasonable amounts of time. Another example is the desire for interactive video in homes and offices, for such applications as in-home movies-on-demand and video teleconferencing. The size of the data files to provide home video and real time video are simply too large to be feasibly transmitted without large increases in the available effective transmission throughput. Conventional approaches to signal transmission on conductive wire lines is to voltage modulate a signal onto the conduit at a frequency that lies within the bounds at which the conduit can electrically conduct the signal. Because of this conventional approach, known modes of conductive wireline transmission are limited in available bandwidth to a spectrum within which the conductive wire line is able to electrically transmit the signal via voltage modulation yielding a current flow. As a result, costly and complicated schemes have been developed to increase the bandwidth and throughput in conventional conductive wireline communications systems using sophisticated switching schemes or signal time-sharing arrangements. Each of these methods is rendered costly and complex in part because the systems adhere to the conventional acceptance that the conductive wire line provides an available bandwidth constrained by its conductive properties. Several conventional methods have thus been developed to increase bandwidth for the transmission of telecommunications signals over conductive wire lines. These systems illustrate how conventional thinking has constrained the available bandwidth on conductive wire lines, unless expensive and complex systems were added to channel the information onto the conduit more rapidly. Some of these conventional methods are described in Networked Media Sends A Message. New Media Maps (Nov. 1992) and in ISDN: a snapshot Proceedings of IEEE. Vol. 79 No. 2 (Feb., 1991) and are summarized below. 1. Conventional Method: Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) Bandwidth: 4 Kbps - 19.2 Kbps POTS is offered over copper wires and represents the lowest level on the bandwidth spectrum. It generally records between 4 Kbps and 19.2 Kbps in available bandwidth, but can be upwardly adjusted with fast modem and data compression techniques. For example, a 14.4 Kbps V.32bis modem coupled with a 4 to 1 signal compression of V.42bis will theoretically provide throughput of more than 50 Kbps. In practice, however, over a typical business line, data can only be moved at about 20 Kbps to 30 Kbps. Even utilizing V-Fast standards that run at 19.2 Kbps, with a total of 112 Kbps theoretically possible after data compression, many analysts believe that without improvements to the copper lines themselves, this is as fast as data transfer is going to get over dial-up copper lines without major infrastructure modifications. 2. Conventional Method: Switched 56 Bandwidth: 56 Kbps This method requires a special, dedicated copper line infrastructure and provides a single 56 Kbps channel. An installed base of these single channel leased copper lines is in operation, and their greater bandwidth makes them a better choice than POTS for fast data transfer, such as for unidirectional video-conferencing. Installing the base of copper lines is, however, expensive. They are also limited to only the single 56 Kbps bandwidth channel and thus do not provide fast enough data transfer to support, for example, simultaneous video data conferencing. 3. Conventional Method: Basic Rate ISDN (B-ISDN) Bandwidth: 56Kbps x 2 bearer + 16 Kbps data Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) provides two 56 Kbps voice grade channels and one 16 Kbps data channel. It requires expensive and complex digital switches, which transform all inputs into binary digits. ISDN requires a special structure, so for the ISDN to operate as a universal system for data transfer, approximately 700 million existing global telephone lines must be converted into the ISDN structure. So far, less than 1 % of those lines have been converted to support the ISDN and those have been installed mostly in campuses or large company settings. Standard ISDN, with two 56 Kbps channels and one 16 Kbps channel is sometimes referred to as narrowband ISDN (N-ISDN). Because of the limited bandwidth available in N-ISDN (112 Kbps + 16 Kbps), it is inflexible for high resolution graphics, realtime video, medical imaging transmission and other high data volume applications. Available bandwidth under N-ISDN is not sufficient for modern or future requirements. As a result of the bandwidth limitations of N-ISDN, various schemes have been proposed to increase the bandwidth of ISDN to Mbps levels. These methods are sometimes referred to as broadband ISDN (B- ISDN) and may involve multiplexing multiple channels. Schemes for multiplexing numerous N-ISDN channels, for example, may achieve bandwidths of several Mbps (ex. 29 channels x 64 Kb/s = 1.9 Mbps), but they do so at great cost. They require expensive switches and multiplexers, as well as sophisticated signaling schemes. Other forms (and drawbacks) of B-ISDN, including Tl multiplexing and ATM multiplexing, are discussed more specifically below. But, in general, B-ISDN can be characterized as providing higher data throughputs through the use of special and expensive switches and equipment. 4. Conventional Method: Switched 384 (Fractional T-l) Bandwidth: 384 Kbps At 384 Kbps Fractional T-l provides enough bandwidth for 30 frames per second of low quality video utilizing an advanced version of the X.25 packet switching standard. This requires expensive modifications at both the central office as well as the customer premises. 5. Conventional Method: T-l, Primary Rate ISDN (PRI) Bandwidth: 1.54 Mbps T-l provides a complete digital service, allowing 23 voice grade channels and two data channels. It does so, unfortunately, at great expense. To provide this T-l capacity to residences for proposed video on demand services, for example, Bell Communications Research is proposing an Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) which would use electronic signal processing to raise weak transmissions to acceptable levels of 1.54 megabits per second (Mbps) across 18,000 feet over existing copper. Still in the prototype stage, ADSL requires interface cards at the central company office and at residences, as well as a television decoder and line conditioning of various forms. 6. Conventional Method: Ethernet and Token Ring Bandwidth: 10 Mbps & 16 Mbps Ethernet is the dominant Local Area Network (LAN) architecture with a 10 Mbps rate. The IBM standard Token Ring is more costly and less open and provides up to 16 Mbps. Typically these methods provide adequate access to large digital data files via a small packet burst delivery mode, but suffer from significant performance problems with the delivery requirements of video and audio files, because it was designed to handle sporadic "Bursty" types of information not continuous high volume streams that require synchronization to a time base. 7. Conventional Method: T-3 Bandwidth: 45 Mbps T-3 is the distribution backbone of the telephone system at 45 Mbps. It can provide broadcast quality NTSC video signals, but is extremely expensive to deploy, due to the number of voice grade lines (about 600) that must be multiplexed and demultiplexed using expensive hardware at both the central and customer facilities. 8. Conventional Method: Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) Bandwidth: 100 Mbps A development by IBM that provides a LAN and WAN technology to deliver 100 Mbps. FDDI has application over optic fibers or copper lines as the conduit. When utilizing fiber optics, FDDI can link up to 500 users at a distance of 500 kilometers. Cost of the fiber installation is extremely high. Copper line FDDI has been reasonably successful in computer local area networks but lack the original capacity of fiber optics that make it useful in broad deployments. 9. Conventional Method: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Bandwidth: 155 Mbps to multiple Gbps over optic fiber ATM is an outgrowth of ISDN and is designed to integrate multiple data types at varying speeds with dynamic bandwidth allocation. Throughput starts at 155 Mbps, with theoretical limits approaching the Gbps level. ATM technology is extremely costly, requiring significant infrastructure outlay and modification and constant upgrading of the ATM switching software to control data flow and channel allocation. With the exception of the fiber optic systems, all of the above systems constrain the available bandwidth by adopting the conventional approach to signal transmission, that is, to voltage modulate a signal onto a conduit at a frequency that lies within the bounds of the conduit's ability to support the signal through its conductive properties producing a current flow. As a result, the signals travelling on die conduit must be coordinated with other traffic by expensive switches, processors and protocols. Bandwidth expansion has also been constrained in the wireless transmission area. There are several wireless modes of communications, chiefly cellular and traditional wireless. Cellular phone technology is currently straining at the boundaries of 19.2 Kb/Second of throughput (utilizing Cellular Digital Packet Data technology). The chief limitations of cellular diroughput are a direct result of the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) schemes utilized, and die traditional analog approach to spectrum usage. Coupled with d e noise and interference that accompanies these transmission modes, d e noise floor rapidly overcomes d e available power of die transmitter. As a result, die receivers are unable to separate noise from die information transmitted. As is well known, conductive wireline communications and wireless communications suffer from performance limitations caused by signal interference, ambient noise, and spurious noise. In conventional transmission systems, these limitations effect d e available bandwidth, distance, and carrying capacity of a transmission system employing the wireline or wireless communication systems. With bom wireless and wireline communication systems, die noise floor and signal interference in the transmission conduit rapidly overcome the signal transmitted. This noise on the wireless or wireline communications conduit is a significant limitation to the ability of conventional systems to expand dieir available bandwidth. The conventional wisdom for overcoming this limitation was to boost die power (i.e., increase the voltage of d e signal) at d e transmitter to boost the voltage level of the signal relative to the noise at d e receiver. Widiout such boosting of die power at the transmitter, the receivers were unable to separate the noise from the desired signal. While some have tried to apply digital means to improve die signal-to-noise ratio while reducing power requirements, die overall performance of die systems is still significantly limited by the accompanying noise mat is inherent in d e transmission system used. Qualcomm (U.S. Patent 4,901,307), for example, has applied a digital Code Division Multiple Access system to achieve improvements in signal quality and power utilization, as well as a modest increase in bandwiddi compared to TDMA technology, neverdieless, die improvements in bandwiddi are relatively small. Improving d e transmission bandwidths across existing telecommunications conduits, widiout limiting carrying distances or capacities and without having to increase power to overcome noise floors, is desirable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an increased available bandwidth over any conduit, whedier conductive or non-conductive. The present invention achieves die increased bandwiddi by indexing available frequency and by employing, as a carrier, a nonlinear chaotic noise signal inherently present on the conduit. The frequency indexing aspect of die present invention occurs by treating disjunct frequency bands as if they were contiguous for transmission purposes. This allows available disjunct portions of die bandwiddi to be pooled. The present bandwiddi pooling may be combined widi anod er aspect of die present invention in which die chaotic noise signal on any conduit may be employed as die carrier for the desired signal transmission. For example, conductive conduit such as copper can support hundreds of megabits per second for multiple users over great distances of bandwiddi widi die present invention. While d e conventional approach to transmitting on conductive conduit was to voltage modulate a signal onto a conduit at a frequency that lies within d e bounds of d e conduit's ability to support d e signal via its conductive properties, the approach of d e present invention is to encode a signal widi the naturally supported complex noise frequencies of die conduit. Specifically, die present invention mixes me desired signal wid d e noise signal that naturally occurs on the conduit. This results in a conduit that has carrier frequencies diat d e conduit naturally supports and mat can be used as a noise sustained structure for die transmission of digital information. Further, because different conduits have different naturally occurring complex noise frequencies, the signal input onto a particular conduit by die present invention will naturally attenuate outside of die conduit since d e noise carrier that the desired signal is carried on in die conduit will not be supported in a different conduit medium. These naturally occurring complex frequencies of a particular conduit are, in fact, chaotic noise structures that are present and are self- supporting in any non-homogeneous media such as copper, air, etc. These structures may appear to be noise or static, but are actually dynamic sets of complex frequencies that can be used as information carriers. Many important results stem from employing these noise structures as the signal carrier. First, since the inherent noise structure on d e conduit is used as a carrier, d e signal transmission distance is not a direct function of d e power requirements at die transmitter. The noise carriers are a self-supporting part of d e conduit. When die carriers are used to support die transmission of the desired signal, d e desired signal need not, and in fact should not, overcome me noise carrier by boosting the transmit power for die desired signal substantially over die noise floor. The desired signal is in fact normalized to a level at or below d e inherent noise floor of die conduit, ra er dian at a level that rapidly increases it. Signal-to-Noise ratios of less than or equal to one are thus usable and, in fact, desirable wid die present invention. This is entirely contrary to conventional wisdom mat teaches boosting die signal-to-noise ratio to a point where die voltage level of d e desired signal sufficiently exceeds die voltage level of d e noise signal to distinguish die two signals from each other at die receiver. Since die present invention is able to recover d e desired signal from die noise carrier widiout boosting the voltage of d e desired signal over die noise, die power level of die desired signal can be dramatically reduced while significantly increasing d e carrying distance. Second, since die noise structure on the conduit is a naturally occurring periodic perturbation induced by nonlinear electromagnetic stimulation resulting in subharmonic bifurcations widi long range phase coherence. using this structure to carry die desired signal is intrinsically security and privacy encoded. In fact, because die noise structure is chaotic, once die desired signal is modulated onto die chaotic noise signal, die resulting signal will appear as static, just as die noise carrier itself appeared before die desired signal was mixed in. Third, d e present communication system will support a much greater number of concurrent users at higher diroughput man do traditional wireless/cellular or wireline systems. Wi i die frequency indexing of die present invention, d e total information being introduced to the conduit is broken apart and carried on independent carriers at different frequencies. Since die independent carriers are generally self sustaining noise components of die system itself, they will have minimal destructive interference widi each other. In fact, when die independent carriers do interfere wid each other, d e interferences will not be self sustaining and will not be part of die carrier channel of die present invention. Fourdi, since data is carried on channels mat have an identifiable self sustaining noise carrier, a broad range of spectral density profiles are available for data transmission. Fifth, die present invention provides for bi-directional isochronous use of die bandwiddi, for example, for interactive video, data or information transfer. Sixth, die present invention provides larger bandwidths widiout modifying die existing telecommunication infrastructures. The desired signals are carried over existing conductive conduits or communications infrastructures, and do so widiout disturbing die current traffic on that infrastructure. Thus, for example, existing telephone lines can be used with POTS or odier conventional technology while die present invention is using die same line to transmit hundreds of Mbits/s of data. Specifically, die present invention selects available frequencies to use as carriers during d e pooling procedure and selectively avoiding frequencies diat carry current traffic. The present invention is not limited to conductive conduits. Because die present invention transmits the desired signal as a wireless waveform, it can use as a waveguide either an electrical conductive medium (such as existing copper lines) or an electrically dielectric media (such as air). The present invention d us has application in high bandwiddi wireless or cellular communications. Finally, since die present invention provides a high degree of noise immunity, d e system may be usable in areas where present day communication systems would be unable to function due to d e noise levels. The present invention contains various technologies as portions of die system: First, a set of wired or wireless address resolution protocols are provided diat allow d e bandwiddi of d e connection between any two points to be managed and optimized by die intelligent selection of channel codes from d e pool of available addresses. Next, a software-based distributed switching and routing system is provided diat effectively substitutes bandwiddi allocation and/or address resolution for any form of dedicated or non-dedicated physical, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, electromagnetic, electronic, or other switching system. A code switching scheme for die allocation of communication channels is included to allow die aggregate bandwiddi of d e entire available communication spectrum to be dynamically reallocated to increase or decrease channel bandwidd s thereby optimizing for aggregate bandwiddi and individual channel diroughput. A frequency translation method between available disjunct bands is included to increase die effective aggregate bandwiddi. Code switching and frequency multiplexing processes are provided to allocate individual channels and segment me bandwidth based on spreading and channel codes. Intelligent self determining software processes are included and employ channel switching for data management wimin die aggregate bandwiddi. These processes implement code switching algorithms to maximize diroughput of d e individual channels as a function directly proportional to die baud rate and inversely proportional to die signal to noise ratio. Traditional coupling means may be used to bridge d e transmitter/ receiver onto any conduit. The advantages and objects of die present invention will be understood by diose in die art after careful review of die following descriptions, taken widi die drawings, in which: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGURE 1 A is a schematic diagram of a prior art transmitter using a chaotic signal carrier; FIGURE IB is a schematic diagram of a prior art receiver using a chaotic signal carrier; FIGURE 2 is a simplified, schematic diagram of an embodiment of die present invention; FIGURE 3 is a schematic diagram of an example transmitter and receiver according to d e present invention; FIGURE 4 is a flowchart illustrating a med od of transmitting and receiving according to an example embodiment of die present invention; FIGURE 5 is an example available bandwiddi diagram; FIGURE 6 is a schematic diagram of an example embodiment of d e present invention; and FIGURE 7 is a diagram showing an application of d e present invention in a wireless environment. PETA1LEP PESCPTPTION OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In die present invention, a desired signal is transmitted over a conduit using die inherent noise structure on die conduit, rather dian a conventional voltage modulated signal as a carrier. Since die noise structure is used as a carrier, greater diroughput and usable bandwiddi can be achieved widiout significant increases in d e transmit power. This opens odierwise unavailable frequency spectrums for use in transmitting a desired signal, and permits significant bandwiddi pooling to increase die total available bandwiddi. Each of these aspects of d e invention is discussed in turn below. CHAOTIC NOISE MODULATION Figure IA illustrates a prior device d at uses chaotic signals to transmit a desired message. This device loosely coincides widi diat described in die article Mastering Chaos. Scientific American, August 1993 by Ditto et al. In die device of Figure IA, a transmitter 110 is described in which a desired signal M is modulated onto a chaotic signal X before transmission. The desired signal M is input to die mixer 112 (shown by example in Figure IA as an adder), together widi a chaotic signal X. The sum of d e message signal M and die chaotic signal X yields die mixed signal Σ which is transmitted by d e antenna 114. The chaotic signal X is generated by a drive signal input D to a subsystem 116. The subsystem 116 reacts to die chaotic signal D generated by a chaotic drive signal generator 118 in a manner diat creates a chaotic signal X. The chaotic signal X is stable, but is generally random in time and d us may appear as static or white noise. When die chaotic signal X is mixed widi die desired signal M at die mixer 112, the mixed signal Σ also appears as a chaotic or noise-like waveform. The mixed signal Σ dius includes a non-chaotic component comprising the desired signal M and a chaotic component comprising d e chaotic signal X. Since die chaotic component X is present in Σ, Σ itself will also appear chaotic and random in time, even diough the desired signal M is also present and may be non-chaotic and identifiable in time. The antenna 114 transmits bom d e mixed signal Σ and die drive signal D to d e antenna 120 in Figure IB. Figure IB shows the receiver 122 that communicates wid die transmitter 110 of Figure IA. The antenna 120 of d e receiver 122 receives d e two signals, Σ and D, diat were transmitted by the transmitter 110 of Figure IA. The receiver 122 includes a subsystem 124 mat is matched to d e subsystem shown in Figure IA such mat the chaotic drive signal D, when introduced to either of d e subsystem 124 of e receiver 122 or die subsystem 116 of die transmitter 110 will produce die same chaotic signal X. The drive signal D is received by die antenna 120 of die receiver 122 and is input to die subsystem 124 to reproduce die signal X. Signal X is men demodulated from the mixed signal Σ in die demodulator 126 (shown by example in Figure IA as a subtracter) to reproduce die desired message signal M. The message signal M is men produced at me desired signal receiver 128. The import of die transmitter 110 and receiver 122 in Figures IA and Figure IB is die recognition d at the drive signal D, even diough it may be chaotic and noise-like, when introduced to die subsystems 116 and 124, will produce an identical and synchronous chaotic signal X. The chaotic signal X is noise-like and is random in time. Neverdieless, since chaotic signal X can be reproduced in synchrony at two different locations, it can be used to encode and decode die message signal M in the respective transmitter 110 and receiver 122. In essence, since signal X is identically produced in bo d e receiver demixer and transmitter mixer, it can be used to mix and demix die desired signal. Figure 2 shows an example embodiment of die present invention. In Figure 2, die desired message signal generator 210 mixes d e desired message signal M widi die noise signal N in a mixer 212 to obtain a mixed signal S d at is transmitted on a conduit 216 from a transmitter 214 to a receiver 218. The noise signal N is obtained by die noise waveform detector 220 as die inherent and self sustaining complex noise frequencies that exist on d e conduit 216 in its natural state. The receiver 218 of Figure 2 also includes a noise waveform detector 222 diat detects die same inherent self sustaining noise components N on the conduit d at d e noise waveform detector 220 of d e transmitter 214 detected. Having obtained die identical noise component N from d e conduit 216 diat die transmitter obtained, die receiver 218 is able to demodulate me desired message signal M from die sum signal S in the mixer 224 and output it to die message receiver 226. Thus, die transmitter 214 and receiver 218 use a chaotic noise signal to carry an encoded message signal across a conduit 216. In fact, die chaotic noise signal N contains die naturally occurring complex periodic frequencies diat occur on die particular non-homogenous conduits used. When perturbed by a nonlinear source, diese complex periodic frequencies can be separated into individual frequency carriers d at are diemselves supported by d e conduit and d at are relatively insensitive to any odier type of noise occurring on die conductive conduit. Figure 3 shows die present transmitter 314 (corresponding to transmitter 214 in Figure 2) and receiver 318 (corresponding to receiver 218 in Figure 2) in greater detail. In die transmitter 314, die message signal generator 310 is shown as die information or data input to d e digital encoder 312 where d e information data (desired signal) is mixed widi d e noise component from the noise waveform detector 320. The noise component is obtained by die combination of d e chaotic synchronizer 520, die chaotic line noise generator 522, and die stabilizing subsystem 524. The chaotic synchronizer 520 couples the stabilizing subsystem 524 to d e transmission medium by traditional transmission coupling methods. The chaotic line noise 522 is die chaotic noise diat exists on d e conduit. The noise is used to normalize die signal to die level of die chaotic noise by traditional electrical engineering means. This is described mathematically as (ΔPi -ΔPi-1) > 1 where P is a result of a perturbation introduced into a system at a point in time i over a period of time t. The active driving signal (chaotic signal generated as an amplified, gain adjusted function of media noise) is supplied in synchronous fashion by transmission concurrently widi die information stream, or as a passive interconnection relying on the characteristic residual chaotic noise diat exists widiin die system or on the conduit widiin die span of time defined as t. The Stabilizing Subsystem 524 utilizes a Chaotic Noise Code approach by substituting nonlinear components of die line noise for pseudo random noise codes widi a signal modulated to die noise used as a carrier. This system is identical to die receiver matched stabilizing subsystem 322. The Chaotic Noise Code Resolution (used by die Stabilizing Subsystem 322 and 524) is described madiematically as: jT (ΔPi -ΔPi -l) i-l < 1 where P is a result of a perturbation introduced into a system at a point in time i over a period of time t. The noise signal from die noise waveform 320 is men mixed widi die information from die desired signal generator 310 in die encoder 312. The mixed signal is men normalized and nonlinearly modulated in die output device 510. This brings die digital information onto the frequency modulated carrier by any of a plurality of means known by those skilled in die art of digital transmission. The mixed signal is men passed onto die conduit 316. The conduit 316 can be a conductive or non-conductive medium. The noise waveform detector 320 also provides a synch signal to drive die stabilizing subsystem 322 (like die stabilizing subsystem 524) to die receiver 318. The transmitter 314 dius provides die receiver 318 widi bodi die mixed signal from die output device 510 and a chaotic drive signal. The receiver 318 accepts die mixed signal from die output device 510 at a demodulator and gain compensator, which is a standard input device for a receiver. In response to die drive signal from transmitter 314, the matched stabilizing subsystem 322, creates a chaotic signal identical to and in synchronous widi die chaotic signal generated by die stabilizing subsystem 524 of the transmitter 314. The receiver 318 decodes die desired signal by removing the noise component generated by die matched stabilizing subsystem 322 from die mixed signal S in die digital decoder 324. The desired signal is men output to die receiver output device 526. The noise component N diat is produced by die stabilizing subsystem 524 and die matched stabilizing subsystem 322 in the transmitter and receiver, respectively, is a chaotic signal diat is not necessarily explicitly identified in time by eidier die transmitter 314 or the receiver 318. The identification of this signal would be extremely difficult and is not necessary since, aldiough die signal is chaotic and effectively random, it is synchronously resolved in bo die stabilizing subsystem 524 and die matched stabilizing subsystem 322, thereby allowing it to be used for die encoding and decoding processes. The algoridims used by die noiser waveform detector 320 to detect die sustainable noise component on die conduit and to index die available frequency bands are described in greater detail below. The algoridims are described, for simplicity, in well-known pseudo-code format. The overall purpose of the first algorithm is to effectively calculate what is commonly referred to as die chaotic "attractor" for me noise components ALGORITHM 1 1.

In line 1, die overall goal of me algoridim is described as calculating die attractor for die particular conduit being used. This means attempting to define die noise structure (i.e., effective chaotic signal attractor) for die purposes of nonlinear signal modulation. At line 2, me bits per second variable is defined as a function of die required data rate and bit error rate. At line 3, die chips per bit variable is defined as a function of degree of external noise immunity (from none to highest, a relative variable), and die spreading factor as it is defined from the spectral density profile and software defined transmission parameters. Line 4 is a header diat describes die following steps as attempting to define me chaotic noise code values for die particular conduit and die particular parameters required in me definition steps 2 and 3 above. The chaotic noise code values will be used in die final step (13) to determine die waveforms that will allow the existing noise to be used as an information carrier. At step 5, ie noise code value is initialized at 0. As will be seen in die coming steps, die characteristics of die noise component at the current noise code value will be analyzed for a sustainable noise structure. Then, at step 12 in die algoridim, die noise code value will be incremented to a new noise code index number and die analysis will be repeated. Line 6 is the beginning of a loop to determine if the signal-to-noise ratio at die current noise code value is above a specified minimum. The specified minimum is determined in a particular application by die requirements dictated by die modulation parameters. Also at line 6, die number of available and useful chaotic noise codes so far determined is added to identify whemer die diroughput required can be met by die available noise codes. At line 7, die local and global nodes of me noise profile as a function of signal to noise ratios are found. This tests for a peak signal-to- noise ratio and a global maximum signal-to-noise ratio widiin a specified band. At line 8, an aggregate frequency band is sampled to identify die chaotic noise codes as defined in lines 9-12. At line 9, die chaotic derivatives of the subsampled noise profile is temporarily stored as die new code. The determination of F CHAOTIC is described in greater detail below. At line 10, die noise profile is tested to determine if it yields a viable carrier (as a function of its effective ability to carry die information widi me required external noise immunity). At line 11, me carrier channel number is incremented. At line 12, die nonlinear chaotic noise code to be used for calculating die overall noise structure of line 13 is stored. At line 13, die overall noise sustained structure to be used as die carriers for die information is calculated as a recursive sum of die vectors' dot products in their real and imaginary planes. This statement takes into account die electromagnetic propeπies for wave guide purposes, as well as die noise profile for signal modulation requirements. C B is the carrier noise code for value n. The calculation of ¥„„„, is described in greater detail below. CALCULATING FCHAOΠC Analogous to Floquet Theory (often referred to as Bloch Theory by physicists) for proof of linear stability for periodic solutions, diere exist equilibrium points as well as subharmonic period doubling and otiier types of bifurcation points diat toge ier form die chaotic attractor of a nonlinear system. This chaotic attractor can be used as an information transport when perturbed by an external energy source. This perturbation is die source of separable solutions of noise codes, and die stability and local periodicities of me noise sustained structure are die result of die equilibrium and bifurcation points being bounded widiin a finite phase space of its limit cycles as defined in die Poincare-Bendixson Theorem (reference pg. 187 Non Linear Systems, Artech House, 1986). Beginning with dx/dt=r ' ( ), we wish to find a solution of X of period T such diat X(T+t)=X(t), Vt implying diat X is representative of a closed curve in its local phase space. This is a stable solution for a carrier by virtue of die fact diat die equilibrium point is at least a metastable, though not necessarily a globally stable Lyapunov trajectory. For small perturbations of X..-X, me limit cycle of die closed phase space, which represents its local attractor, is bounded by: x = Va cos(t+θo), y = Va sin (t+θ 0 ) at its locally defined origin in a two dimensional infinite phase plane for amplitudes a > 0 as indicated by die Poincare-Bendixson Theorem. Fc HA onc can then be found by introducing a nonlinear perturbation of die form dx/dt = F(x,y) + ax-cy and dy/dt=G(x,y) + ay+cx where a<0 and F & G are continuously differentiable functions satisfying [F(x,y)] 2 + [G(x,y)] 2 = 0[(x 2 + y 2 ) 2 ] = Fα^ TO as x→O. [Equation 1]. This perturbation is die source of separable solutions of noise codes, and die stability and local periodicities of die noise sustained structure are die result of die equilibrium and bifurcation points being bounded widiin a finite phase space of its limit cycles as defined the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem. CALCULATING F, RECURSE To calculate F R E CJJ -. SE , we begin with a canonical equation for oscillations of a conservative system satisfying: dt 2 where F satisfies [Equation 1] of F chaotic and F(0)=F'(0)=0, and ε is a parameter where ε=0 1) implies simple harmonic motion with period 2π independent of die amplitude of die oscillation, and 2) when ε is small mere are periodic solutions widi period dependency on amplitude (a) and parameter (ε) such that: x (t,ε) = a Cos(ε) tCos(t) - a Sin(ε) t Sin(t) for die explicitly exact solution of die simple harmonic when perturbed by an external energy source. This yields the simplified approximation for the differential equation for the bounded system as: x(t,ε)=aCosω t+ l/32ε a 3 (Cosωt-Cos3ωt)+0(ε 2 a 5 ) where ω = 1 - 3/8εa 2 + 0(ε 2 a 4 ) for small ε → O. which by use of Lagrange's identity: ■|(2ω 1 a+-|a 3 )=0 which is die limit cycle of die chaotic attractor. This men gives rise to a set of closed curves in phase space that define all possible points in space widiin which a signal may be expected to bound around. These are e only convergence points diat are useful for information transport widiin this autonomous two dimensional system, since tiiese nonlinear bifurcations uniquely yield real period solutions satisfying: ω(a) = l + 10/3 a + 0(a) as a t O where a < 0 and 2π/ω is the limit cycle (attractor) which together determine me global pattern of the phase space orbits with information carriers defined by A N Cosiύ t Cos— N r RECOURSE and meir velocities of propagation defined as: where υ p is a local instantaneous velocity of propagation that is a function of spatial and temporal coordinates allowing information to be transmitted by using the velocity solution to synchronize the subsystems so that die information (i.e., the perturbation) can be identified as a field distortion which is a function of time and amplitude. As is e case in a linear system, the ratio of ω/k (the ratio of the frequency to die wave number) as it applies to the phase velocity and die dispersion relation, shows mat by varying the amplitude (ramer than the source frequency) one can modulate die wave number in an exact manner rather man via a truncation of an expansion. The information carrying field of me nonlinear medium thus oscillates in space time with linear control possible as is denoted by: i H ) (ref. pg 10 Nonlinear Material Science, Explicitly Exact Solutions in a Family of Nonlinear Media). where ω c is a critical frequency diat follows the relationship ω c =k c v-2/3k for me critical wave numbers as defined by satisfying me previously established equilibrium points of F chaotic and die Unstable Nonlinear Schrόdinger equation which governs me behavior of virtually all weakly nonlinear wavepackets including waveguides, solutions, and plasmas (ref. Drazin, P.G. & Johnson, R.S., 1989 Solitons: an Introduction. Cambridge University Press.) Algoridim 2 describes the steps for separating out the carrier frequencies when nonlinear code division is used. Since the carrier frequencies are often functions of each other and themselves, they can be STITUTE SHEET (RULE 28) separated when noise is introduced to the system, rather man through externally defined carrier noise codes. This is described mathematically (in pseudo code) as: ALGORITHM 2 1. Allocate bandwidth for channel switching scheme 2. define/identify frequency bands 3. index bands 4. define indexed bands as an aggregate bandwidth pool 5. Allocate bandwidth as a function of data throughput 6. upsample to increase Bandwiddi per Connection downsample to increase Connections per Bandwiddi 7. Until Bandwid i Connection required > Bandwidth Remaining do 8. Waveform Signal = Attractor Waveform complex ; defined in algoridim 1 9. end until Line 1, defines the algoridim as an overall frequency pooling for bandwidth allocation scheme. In step 2, the frequency bands are defined. This takes into account software defined parameters that may dictate that certain bands (due to licensing or omer restraints) be avoided. At step 3, the beginning and ending points of me segments in an absolute (e.g. Hz) sense are determined. At step 4, the boundaries for me individual frequency segments available are stored. Line 5 describes die purpose of steps 6 & 7. Depending on die required transmission rate, die bandwiddi is allocated by performing either step 6 or step 7. At step 6, bandwiddi is increased to optimize for me individual connection rate. At step 7, die connections are increased to optimize for more concurrent users. At step 8, a test is made to determine if die system is fully loaded to perform step (9). At step 9, the information is modulated onto die noise structure defined in algoridim 1 (steps 1-13). The operation of die transmitter of Figure 3 is shown in Figure 6 and described below. At step 601, a Digital or Analog Input is received at die input 310 of the transmitter 314. At step 602, parameters for me encoder 312 and decoder 324 are stored. The parameters diat are stored include: input format, output format, internal diroughput information, embedded functions. The information stored effectively decouples die transmission from me information encoding by allowing die information to be treated as a digital stream diat is only dependent on format information at me time of decoding. This allows die system to support any compression/encoding format in a modular fashion. At step 603, die data is encoded at encoder 312 (for die transmitter 314) or decoded at die decoder 324 (for die receiver 318). The digital encoding converts analog signals into a digital information stream in any predetermined format (e.g. MPEG, DVT, ASCII, etc.) The decoding converts die digital information stream into a discrete analog form for output, buffering, or storage; via die application of a decoding/ decompression metiiod. The system is CODEC and format independent to facilitate die implementation of any standard in modular fashion, via die decoupling of various aspects from the transmission mediod. A very high dynamic range broadband transceiver (similar in nature to die devices described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,230,956 and 4,112,374 to Steinbrecher) allows the entire software definable frequency band to be down-converted and digitized. Once in a digital format die information can be treated independendy of its original transmission methodology (TDMA, CDMA, analog, etc.) using software driven digital signal processors. At step 604, Transmission Parameter Storage: The transmission parameters set die boundary conditions for die nonlinear CDMA systems and decouples die rest of die present invention from die transmission me iodology and conduits. The parameters that are stored include: bandwiddi information (required, available, etc.); transmission characteristics (line crosstalk, frequency limits, existing spectrum profile, desired spectral density; and dynamic diroughput information). At step 605, Non linear CDMA coding: The CDMA coding is done in a non sequential, non linear fashion from a pool of dynamic complex frequencies mat represent die transmission medium's chaotic noise characteristics combined widi an encoding address template mat is required for decoding of die signal. This allows multiple signals reaching die receiver to be combined constructively ratiier dian treating diem as multipadi interference. At step 606, Chaotic Noise Carrier Code Generator: The generation of Chaotic Noise Carrier Codes (CNC codes) requires dynamic sampling of me transmission conduit's ambient and spurious noise spectrum in order to optimize me carrier and modulation frequencies' spectral density for die required signal to noise ratio as well as avoiding interference widi odier concurrent traffic such as analog or digital transmissions of data, voice, or visual information. At step 607, Dynamic Fine Gain Control: Digital signal processors are employed to calculate die value of die gain (positive or negative) to be applied to a received signal to maintain a signal to noise ratio high enough to yield an error rate diat is a ratio of die required diroughput to a stochastic function of die dynamic noise sampling frequency as dictated by available DSP technology and required diroughput. The fine gain control also increases die resolution of die chaotic attractor for die specific connection and also constructively affects die noise sustained structure for die rest of die locally affected area. At step 608, Gross Cell Gain Control: The transceiver's AGC (automatic gain control) adjusts die gain of die received signal to keep it in parity with die dynamic power level received at die remote transceiver or base station. The combined effect of die regulation of all of die transceivers' power levels widiin die cell has two important effects: 1) It maintains die effective size of die cell to be die minimum necessary to support die communications network, thereby minimizing die power requirements of bom base stations and remote transceivers; and 2) it imposes a signature on die local area which has die effect of increasing the effective resolution of die chaotic attractor widiin die noise spectrum, which decreases die required output power of all transmission sources in diat effective logical network. Each fixed base station or mobile transceiver contributes to the network as bom an active power regulation component of me cell and as a passive bridge transparendy supporting omer traffic widiout incurring data or address overhead. At step 609, Active Logic Bi-directional Interconnection: The active logic interconnections are hardware and software " mterfaces diat are specifically designed for die particular conduit (e.g. powerline, twisted pair, ediernet cabling, wireless, etc.) They have several functions: 1) physical coupling (impedance matching, timing signal calculation and generation, etc.); 2) storage of software enabled distributed functionality diat can be accessed remotely (decoding keys, logical/physical address updating, etc.); 3) simulating or directly supporting analog switching and digital routing of die network information (e.g. bit error rate, S/N ratio, ambient noise, etc.) In contrast to die systems it interfaces widi, much of the need for active regulation of die transmission conduit is avoided by identifying and using die existing noise sustained structure for transmission coding. This negates die need to direcdy filter, amplify, or change die spectral density profile of die signal. At step 610. Analog & Digital Output: me resolved transmission of (1) Input. This example embodiment of die invention dius provides a conductive or dielectric conduit used as a waveform guide to constrain a wireless signal. The signal is dynamically and intelligently adjusted to take best advantage of die medium upon which it is being transmitted, and to use die inherent noise, power levels, available bandwiddi and concurrent traffic to adjust diat signal for optimum transmission quality. This results in a broad range of spectral density profiles ώat will support me desired signal. BANDWIDTH INDEXING The bandwiddi indexing scheme is based on two criteria: 1. Bandwiddi is allocated as a pool of available frequencies. Figure 5 generally illustrates an example of die bandwiddi indexing scheme of the present invention. In Figure 5, the available frequencies are shown in a kHz range on die X-axis. Near die left of Figure 5, a voice band is illustrated between 2 kHz and 4 kHz. Above diat, a useable frequency band of between 4 kHz and 10 kHz is illustrated as Band A. Thereafter, a band from 10 kHz to 20 kHz is dedicated to data use; a band from 20 kHz to 60 kHz is available as useable Band B; a band from 60 kHz to 100 kHz is identified as containing non-sustainable noise; and a band from 70 kHz to 100 kHz is identified as a useable Band C. The present invention scrolls through available channels to identify die useable Bands A, B and C; die dedicated bands ("voice" and "data"); and die non-useable bands ("non- sustainable noise") in die spectrum shown in Figure 5. These determinations are made through either external inputs (i.e., as in die case of dedicated voice and data lines) or by testing die frequency bands for die presence of sustainable noise components (i.e., as in the non-sustainable noise band of Figure 5). Once die useable bands A, B and C are identified by die present invention, die useable bands are pooled into a composite effective useable bandwiddi of XHz. This is accomplished in die software of die present invention by identifying die bands A, B and C,- mapping diose bands, and transmitting data packets across die useable bands. The frequency pool is indexed as sets of beginning and ending frequencies and die map of die pool is made available to any node on die network as a packet diat can be requested. 2. The bands to be used are software selectable as to die minimum and maximum power allowable widiin each band in a continuous or discrete manner. An object of die invention is diat die power output can be restrained to milliwatts at any given frequency from 1 KHz to 1 GHz. Available bandwiddi increases widi frequency as signal duration decreases. In a typical system mis would be compensated for widi an increase in transmission power. In the invention this is not die case, since die underlying noise of the transmission signal is used to sustain die signal by acting as a nonlinear waveform guide. The spectral density profile is software/firmware definable in frequency band, power level and roll off/attenuation. This provides a large degree of latitude in modifying signal transmission characteristics to reflect me dynamic needs of die transmission conduit (air, powerline, twisted-pair, etc.) and other constraints. An example embodiment of die present invention uses wave division multiple access, which is die basic method used in any frequency selectable broadcast or communication channel (e.g. radio or television), to identify or utilize available frequency bands. ISOCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION The above apparatus and method can provide and maintain an isochronous transmission stream. One exemplary method which may be employed to maintain an isochronous transmission stream provides data packet transmission, widi each packet including a header containing: a) the required bit rate at die present packet size; b) die packet destination address; and c) padding to be used for error detection and correction bits. This mediod allows for dynamic upshifts and downshifts in the bandwiddi allocation widiout prior knowledge of die diroughput for die information stream. This allows an isochronous session to be maintained widiin a synchronous session. The error detection scheme is independent of me transmission, since die padding results in bits diat can be stripped on eidier die sending or receiving end as needed to allow for a range of error detection from none (and no padding) to hardware level total error checking. Before error correction, the nonlinear encoded digital information is capable of bit error rates exceeding 10"'. Anodier exemplary method which may be employed to maintain an isochronous transmission stream requires that mere may be sent: at the beginning of the transmission: a) the bit rate required for die at present mean diroughput b) destination address for die information stream c) transmission protocols (error detection, handshaking) allowing isochronous sessions to be maintained in a synchronous fashion; and during the transmission: a) changes required bit rate required for die at die present diroughput based on bit error rates and signal to noise ratio b) changes in communications protocols (error detection, etc.). This method allows for an isochronous connection to be maintained widiin an asynchronous link. In one embodiment of die present invention, die data is not modulated onto die noise signal directly but ratiier bits are split into redundant sets of diemselves and sent as individually carried streams similar to a code division multi-access scheme. The major macroscopic difference between die present scheme and die code division multi-access scheme is die carrier frequencies in the present case are all naturally occurring periodic perturbations induced by nonlinear electromagnetic stimulation resulting in subharmonic bifurcations with long range phase coherence. Figure 6 illustrates an application of die present invention. Specifically, Figure 6 shows a transmitter and a receiver coupled by me conduit 400 in which a uniform pulse code modulation (PCM) signal is modulated onto a chaotic noise signal in die transmitter and demodulated from die chaotic noise signal in the receiver. The aspects of die present invention relating to die prediction of die noise waveform on the conduit 400 is performed in die matched stabilizing subsystems 410 and 412. In die manner previously discussed, die matched stabilizing subsystems 410 and 412 produce synchronized chaotic signals diat are modulated widi die uniform PCM signal in die modulator 402 and demodulated from the combined signal in the demodulator 413. The mux 404 is die output for die transmitter onto die conduit 400. It transmits at least diree signals: 1) die result of die modulation of die uniform PCM signal and die output of die stabilizing subsystem 410 in the modulator 403, after its encoding by die residual encoder 403; 2) die gained compensation factor from the gain compensation circuit 406; and 3) die synch signal from die coefficient analyzer 414 diat will drive bodi die stabilizing subsystem 410 and die stabilizing subsystem 412 to produce matched synchronized noise component signals. These diree signals are transmitted across die conduit 400 to die demux 405 in die receiver. From there, die modulated PCM signal ("residual") is decoded in die decoder 407 and input to die demodulator 413. The gain compensation signal is also output from die demux 405 to me decoder 407 to adjust for any gain disparity. Finally, die drive signal from the coefficient analyzer 414 is applied to die stabilizer subsystem 412 to produce die identical output as diat produced by die stabilizing subsystem 410 and input to me demodulator 413. The output of die stabilizing subsystem 412 is then demodulated from the modulated signal, which has been decoded in die residual decoder 407, to reproduce die uniform PCM signal. While die present invention can be applied to any communications infrastructure, die goal of die invention is to be ultimately applied as a discrete isochronous narrowcast widi any-to-any functionality wireless system; or a logical improvement over existing analog and digital cellular systems. The intelligent/adaptive use of power provided by die present invention provides die capability to generate overlapping cells of any radius. The average metropolitan area, for example, could be covered by two Wide Area Transceivers widi overlapping cones of transmission. This is shown, by way of example, in Figure 7. Local Transceivers widiin diese areas would have a cell radius diat is intelligendy and dynamically adjusted based on communications needs such as bandwiddi requirements, density of omer cells, power levels, etc. Local transceivers outside die range of odier local cells could tie into die Wide Area Transceiver to communicate with odier local transceivers. As die density of cells increased, die need for Wide Area Transceivers would be reduced, as would die power requirements of me local cells. All Transceivers are bom active and passive, in diat diey provide a routing pass dirough communications function even when not in use by die operator. This effectively distributes die switching and intelligence of die network to every local transceiver in a model similar to the emerging distributed peer-to-peer computer network. The foregoing description of die preferred embodiments has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive nor to limit the invention to die precise form disclosed, and many modifications and variations are possible in light of die above teaching. It is intended diat die scope of die invention by defined by die claims and their equivalents.
