Space modulation techniques (SMTs) have emerged as promising candidates for spectral-and energy-efficient wireless communication systems since they strike a good balance among error performance, power efficiency, spectrum efficiency, and receiver complexity. In SMTs, the information is not only conveyed by the habitual M-ary signal constellations; rather, it is also conveyed by the indices of the transmit antennas. As such, the indices of the transmit antennas are harnessed in such a manner that they enhance the transmission efficiency compared with the other multiple-input multiple-output opponents. Despite their exceptional advantages, SMTs suffer from a major drawback, which lies in the logarithmic proportion between their achievable data rates and the number of transmit antennas. In this regard, the fully generalized spatial modulation (F-GSM) and the fully quadrature spatial modulation (F-QSM) are proposed in this paper in order to vanquish this controversial drawback. In F-GSM and F-QSM, the transmit antennas used for data transmission are varied from the state in which only one transmit antenna is activated to the state in which multiple/all transmit antennas are activated. Therefore, a linear relationship between the achievable data rates and the number of transmit antennas is acquired. Moreover, a novel mathematical framework for assessing the average bit error rate performance of different SMTs is delineated. The driven mathematical framework is considered as the first major attempt to generalize the analytical analysis of different SMTs. In addition, the receiver's computational complexity of the proposed schemes is obtained and analyzed in terms of the computational complexity of different SMTs. The simulation results substantiate the validity of the analytical analysis conducted throughout the paper, as they are very akin to the obtained analytical formulas.
A novel transmission scheme called fully generalised spatial modulation (FGSM) is proposed for underwater communication, where any subset of available transmitting antennas (N t) is activated at a time instant to transmit the data constellation symbol and the index of the active antenna is also harnessed to carry information. The FGSM offers better energy efficiency (EE) than previous spatial modulation (SM) and generalised SM systems. The proposed FGSM system is tested in an acoustic underwater multipath channel. Simulation results show that it can significantly improve the average bit error rate (ABER) as well as EE.
In past decades, there has been a growing interest in the discussion and study of using underwater acoustic channel as the physical layer for communication systems, ranging from point-to-point communications to underwater multicarrier modulation networks. A series of review papers were already available to provide a history of the development of the field until the end of the last decade. In this paper, we attempt to provide an overview of the key developments, both theoretical and applied, in the particular topics regarding multicarrier communication for underwater acoustic communication such as the channel and Doppler shift estimation, video and image transmission throw multicarrier techniques, etc. This paper also includes acoustic propagation properties in seawater and underwater acoustic channel representation.
This paper develops a location based analog beamforming (BF) technique using compressive sensing (CS) to be feasible for millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless communication systems. The proposed scheme is based on exploiting the benefits of CS and localization to reduce mmWave beamforming (BF) complexity and enhance its performance compared with conventional mmWave analog BF techniques. CS theory is used to exploit the sparse nature of the mmWave propagation channel to estimate both the angle of departures (AoDs) and the angle of arrivals (AoAs) of the mmWave channel, and knowing the node location effectively reduces the number of BF vectors required for constructing the sensing matrix. Hence, a high accurate mmWave BF with a low set-up time can be obtained. Simulation analysis confirms the high effectiveness of the proposed mmWave BF technique compared to the conventional exhaustive search BF and the CS based BF without localization using random measurements.I.
Due to the complexity and variability of underwater acoustic channels, ship-radiated noise (SRN) detected using the passive sonar is prone to be distorted. The entropy-based feature extraction method can improve this situation, to some extent. However, it is impractical to directly extract the entropy feature for the detected SRN signals. In addition, the existing conventional methods have a lack of suitable de-noising processing under the presence of marine environmental noise. To this end, this paper proposes a novel feature extraction method based on enhanced variational mode decomposition (EVMD), normalized correlation coefficient (norCC), permutation entropy (PE), and the particle swarm optimization-based support vector machine (PSO-SVM). Firstly, EVMD is utilized to obtain a group of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from the SRN signals. The noise-dominant IMFs are then eliminated by a de-noising processing prior to PE calculation. Next, the correlation coefficient between each signal-dominant IMF and the raw signal and PE of each signal-dominant IMF are calculated, respectively. After this, the norCC is used to weigh the corresponding PE and the sum of these weighted PE is considered as the final feature parameter. Finally, the feature vectors are fed into the PSO-SVM multi-class classifier to classify the SRN samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the recognition rate of the proposed methodology is up to 100%, which is much higher than the currently existing methods. Hence, the method proposed in this paper is more suitable for the feature extraction of SRN signals.
