Modelling and Simulation of IDMA-OFDM for Underwater Acoustic Communication

Abstract

<p>The Ocean exhibits phenomenon of changing acoustic signal transmission due to its non-stationary nature. Water columns in between transmitter and receiver are not fixed at any point of time. Thus, designing of a wireless communication systems for underwater applications becomes significantly challenging. The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s which introduces large delay spread in acoustic signal due to multipath phenomenon. The large time delay causes Inter-symbol Interference; this ISI degrades the performance of many receivers. However orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is multi-tone modulation reduces long time delay spreads of acoustic channels. The interleave division multiple access distinguishes each user with the unique random interleaver code. The IDMA-OFDM is superior design for reducing error bursts in multi-access underwater applications. A Simulink based simulation modell of IDMA-OFDM system has been discussed in this paper. Satisfactory performance of the implementation was observed through analysis of BER with respect to SNR. The results have been concluded by comparing simulated data in BER tool of Simulink.</p><p><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 65, No. 4, July 2015, pp. 307-311, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.65.8606</strong></p>

Discrete image data transmission in heterogeneous wireless network using vertical handover mechanism

“…As the sample rate is different for communication schemes, adjustment of sample rate is done by proper buffer level adjustment. In [18] the receive delay and time series analysis are not discussed. We focused on the transmission of image data with proper delay adjustment via two diverse communication schemes and recovery of the received signal with the statistical analysis of discrete image data and histogram plots of recovered image.…”

Coding Techniques using IDMA OFDM MIMO for Underwater Wireless Acoustic Communication

“…Though presently available underwater wireless acoustic technology provisions delay tolerant and low data rate requests. State of the art typical investigational point to point acoustic modems use signaling scheme that can achieve data rates lower than 20kilobits/sec with a link distance of 1kilometer [2], [3], [4].…”

Performance Analysis of Underwater Acoustic Communication using IDMA-OFDM-MIMO with Reed Solomon and Turbo Code

“…Underwater acoustic sensor networks are used in wide range of applications and in commercial. In wireless communication media the underwater acoustic channel is one of the most thought-provoking channels [1], [2]. Underwater acoustic channels existing many challenges for reliable high data rate communications.…”
