Orthogonal M-ary code shift keying spread spectrum underwater acoustic communication

M-ary and code shift keying（CSK）spread spectrum is generally applied to overcoming the spreading gain versus data rate limitation in underwater acoustic（UWA）communications.In addition,the concept of orthogonal M-ary CSK is introduced to UWA communication to gain higher rates.We propose a scheme employing dual-orthogonal-channel M-ary and CSK spread spectrum UWA communication based on Gold sequences owing large code set and good self and cross correlation.The modulation and demodulation scheme of the orthogonal M-ary CSK is derived algebraically and the factors critical to its performance are discussed.Furthermore,its bit error rate（BER）curve is evaluated via simulations and compared with the dual-channel M-ary CSK.Finally,the validity of the simulations is verified in tank experiments.1096.8 bps data rate of the proposed communication scheme is realized for 10 kbits data volume with no error.Overall through deduction,numerical simulation,and experiment,it is shown that the proposed method offers significantly improved performance.     

An efficient spread spectrum pulse position modulation scheme for point-to-point underwater acoustic communication

The underwater acoustic channel is a complicated and time-varying multipath channel, and many equalization algorithms have been researched and developed to overcome the difficulties for underwater acoustic communication. Unfortunately, many algorithms are computational intensive and prone to lose convergence due to their sensitiveness to different channel configurations. In this paper, a pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme is proposed, and it uses two M-sequences of low cross-correlation to transfer information, which are modulated on two orthogonal carriers. One is used as a reference sequence, and the other is shifted relative to the reference. Information is carried by the starting time difference between the two sequences in each symbol. Comparing with conventional direct-sequence spread spectrum technique, the proposed scheme is more spectral efficient. Two receiver designs are given, one takes advantages of M-sequences’ auto-correlation properties, and the other is motivated by passive phase conjugation (PPC) to take advantages of the channel. Combined with M-sequence, PPC performance is augmented without a receiving array to cover the water column, and it is far less complex than adaptive equalizers for receivers. Results from lake field trials are analyzed, and they verify potential applications of this PPM scheme.

Experimental demonstration of spread spectrum communication over long range multipath channels

This paper presents a spread spectrum scheme, which is designed for long range underwater acoustic communications of low signal-to-noise ratios. This scheme uses two maximum length sequences, which are overlapped in time. One is used as a time reference, and the other applies code cyclic shift keying (CCSK) to carry information. Compared with conventional spread spectrum techniques, CCSK achieves a higher spectral efficiency, and this property is of significance in spread spectrum communications. With the help of a time reference, performance impairment from timing errors for CCSK is reduced, as each CCSK symbol has its own time reference. For this scheme, three receiver structures are presented, and they are: (1) correlation receiver, (2) passive-phase conjugation receiver, and (3) time reversal receiver structures. A recent sea experiment was carried out in a range dependent channel over a distance of 10 km. By real data processing, performance of the three receiver structures are compared and discussed. The presented results demonstrate the feasibility of this spread spectrum scheme.
