Abstract

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a FDE combined with STBC transmission structure to cancellation of ISI in underwater acoustic communication. To achieve this purpose, underwater acoustic channels are modeled and the simulation results are presented. In case of STBC-FDE, the transmission rate is less about 4% than STBC-OFDM, but the SER performance is better than STBC-OFDM that is larger from 4.4% to 16.8% at the SNR of 15dB than STBC-OFDM.

본 논문에서는 수중음향 통신환경에서 다중경로에 의한 심볼간 간섭을 제거하기 위한 방법으로 STBC 전송구조를 결합한 FDE 기법을 제시하고, 그 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 수중통신환경을 고려한 수중음향채널을 모델링하였고, 이 채널에 대한 수중통신 모의시험 결과를 제시하였다. 주파수영역 등화의 경우, 전송블록 양쪽에 훈련신호가 추가되는 구조적 특성상 OFDM 기법에 비해 약 4% 정도의 전송률 저하를 보이나 OFDM에 비해 4.4%에서 16.8%(SNR 9dB기준) 향상된 SER 특성을 보였다.
