Abstract:With the recent increase in the number of underwater activities, having effective underwater communication systems has become increasingly important. Underwater acoustic communication has been widely used but greatly impaired due to the complicated nature of the underwater environment. In a bid to better understand the underwater acoustic channel so as to help in the design and improvement of underwater communication systems, attempts have been made to model the underwater acoustic channel using mathematical e… Show more
“…The deep learning (DL)-based UAC channel model was presented in Onasami et al 25 This method uses real-time data for the processing, which was gathered from Lake Tahoe. Both machine learning and deep learning (ie, deep neural network [DNN] and long short-term memory [LSTM]) approaches were used for accurately estimating the UWA channel.…”
Underwater acoustic (UWA) channels are widely regarded as one of the most challenging communication mediums. Low frequencies are best for acoustic propagation, and the bandwidth available for communication is extremely small. The worst channel situation often limits the efficiency of UWA communication systems due to the difficulty and time‐varying nature of the UWA channel. To solve the existing limitations related with underwater signal transmission and communication, an improved underwater communication system incorporated with Internet of Things (IoT) is proposed in this work. The proposed system utilizes the orthogonal signal division multiplexing modulation technique. Here the signal transmission process is achieved with the help of an IoT network system. An improved AdaBoost channel estimation algorithm is used to obtain the channel information. This work utilizes an improved stochastic gradient descent optimization method for selecting the suitable mode of signal transmission based on the estimated channel. Further, an adaptive recursive least square channel equalization algorithm is used for channel compensation. The simulation results are obtained with the help of the MATLAB platform. The performance is analyzed in terms of parameters such as signal to noise ratio, bit error rate, and mean square error. A comparison of the proposed method is also made with the existing methods. The evaluation results show that the proposed method performs better than the existing methods.
