A Real-Time Digital Self Interference Cancellation Method for In-Band Full-Duplex Underwater Acoustic Communication Based on Improved VSS-LMS Algorithm

Abstract

Theoretically, the spectral efficiency of in-band full-duplex underwater acoustic communications (IBFD-UWAC) is twice that of a half-duplex one. However, the actual achievable spectral efficiency of IBFD-UWAC is determined by the performance of the self-interference cancellation (SIC). In addition, the hostile underwater environment poses a challenge to the tracking performance of the SIC due to its complexity and variability. In this paper, we propose a digital SIC method based on the improved variable step-size least mean square (IVSS-LMS) algorithm where we modify the step-size adjustment criterion in the classical LMS filter and establishes a nonlinear relationship with the Sigmoid function to control the step-size using the instantaneous state error, thus improving the robustness and tracking performance of IVSS-LMS. Hardware-in-loop simulation (HLS) based on Simulink® platform verifies the real-time implementability and effectiveness of the proposed IVSS-LMS algorithm. Furthermore, the sea trial results show that the digital SIC method based on the proposed algorithm can be implemented in real-time and the convergence speed, and steady-state performance are significantly improved.

“…where ( ) W n is the filter coefficient vector, ( ) X n is the input vector, ( ) e n is the error signal, and μ is the key to determine the convergence and error level of LMS algorithm, which can reduce the time required for convergence and limit the error in a small range [35].…”

Co-Frequency Interference Suppression of Integrated Detection and Jamming System Based on 2D Sparse Recovery

“…In an integrated radar and communication system, diverse digital self-interference cancellation methods [18,19] can be employed to tackle the problem of co-frequency selfinterference. In the integrated detection and jamming system, the detected target echoes will include the adversary transmission signal that shares the same frequency band.…”
