Underwater communication has captured tremendous attention in the last few years. The varied applications ranging over commercial, scientific and military activities require efficient communication under water. Acoustic waves stand out as the best medium for communicating underwater. But underwater communication has to encounter effects of spreading loss, path loss, ambient noise, multipath propagation, Doppler effects etc. In this juncture, identifying suitable underwater acoustic channel model (UAC) is very important for minimum BER communication through underwater by considering water depth, frequency and range. Also the typical long delay spread and the resulting intersymbol interference inherent in underwater acoustic channels has to be dealt with. Multicarrier modulation is a solution to this problem. In this paper an analysis on the existing works related to underwater acoustic communication covering the channel modeling techniques and modulation schemes are presented and the best technique is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
