This paper introduces the design of a thermal noise based communication system that utilizes the intrinsic noise characteristics of resistors for information modulation, without the need for an external power source. By analyzing the thermal equilibrium condition, we proved the feasibility of achieving zero net power transfer between the transmitter and receiver. To accommodate the unique characteristics of noise communication, which is based on detecting the variance of the output voltage at the receiver, customized estimators and multiple access methods are proposed. The numerical results demonstrate that the system can enable short-range communication for multiple users.
