时变水声信道的动态压缩感知估计

水声多径信道具有的稀疏特性已被应用于设计稀疏估计方法提高信道估计性能。然而,水声信道具有的快速时变特性,给传统稀疏信道估计方法带来了很大的困难。考虑到水声信道除了高时变性多径,还存在着相对静止,缓慢变化的直达径或者海底反射径,通过将水声信道建模为由静态和时变稀疏支撑集组成,把时变水声信道估计转化为动态压缩感知问题。结合卡尔曼滤波和压缩感知理论,并采用原始对偶追踪算法求解Dantzig selector模型,从而实现对复数域基于卡尔曼滤波器的压缩感知稀疏求解问题的处理。信道时变条件下的数值仿真及基于信道估计的判决反馈均衡器的海上实验结果表明,该算法相对经典的正交匹配追踪和最小二乘QR分解算法具有较明显的性能改善。从而说明,通过对时变水声信道进行动态压缩感知估计可有效提高估计性能。

混合稀疏水声信道的动态区分性压缩感知估计

由于水声传播过程中同时存在声信号直达、静态或动态边界反射的现象,水声信道会呈现不同动态特性的多径,形成具有混合稀疏的结构,即多径由静态或相对缓变的平稳多径分量和快速时变的动态多径分量混合组成。对于混合稀疏信道,经典的稀疏信道估计算法未考虑混合稀疏性,将导致算法失配、性能下降;以时变稀疏集为模型,动态压缩感知(DCS)结合卡尔曼滤波(KF-CS)可提高对时变多径分量的估计精度,但KF对静态稀疏分量的估计无法充分挖掘其稀疏性。通过将混合稀疏水声信道建模为由静态和时变支撑集所组成的稀疏集,提出一种动态区分性压缩感知(DDCS)方法。该算法首先结合同步正交匹配追踪(SOMP)和正交匹配追踪(OMP)将混合稀疏多径进行区分,分解为静态分量和时变分量;然后,分别用KF-CS和同步正交匹配追踪算法估计时变和静态多径的幅度;最后,将静态分量和时变分量的估计结果整合以得到整个水声信道的冲激响应。通过海试实验把所提DDCS算法与经典信道估计算法、压缩感知算法和DCS算法进行了比较,验证了所提算法的有效性。结果表明,对混合稀疏水声信道进行区分性稀疏估计可改善信道估计性能,进而可通过信道估计均衡器提升水声通信质量。

本文研究了时变信道条件下采用被动时间反转的直接序列扩频水声通信方案。多通道被动时间反转可通过对信道多径进行时间、空间聚焦实现信道匹配,但低信噪比、时变特性造成的信道特性失配对被动时间反转处理的性能造成严重影响。在垂直阵接收的基础上,本文采用码片级信道估计获取水声信道特性并进行周期性更新,并采用已判决码元产生的扩频码片作为信道估计训练序列,结合应用稀疏信道估计算法抑制零值抽头上的估计噪声,从而可有效改善时变、低信噪比条件下的被动时间反转处理的时、空多径聚焦效果,提高扩频通信性能。通过湖试实验比较了采用稀疏信道估计、传统信道估计算法的时反扩频接收机,以及经典直扩接收机的通信性能,实验结果表明：本文方案可在低信噪比获得较好的性能,并有效抑制时变信道对时反扩频通信性能的影响。

Exploiting joint sparsity for underwater acoustic MIMO communications

MIMO communication has been recognized as a potential solution for high speed underwater acoustic communication, which unfortunately encounters significant difficulties posed by simultaneous presence of multipath and Co-channel interference (CoI). Sparsity contained in the multipath structure of underwater acoustic channels offers an effective way for improving channel estimation quality and thus enhancing the communication performance in the form of time reversal or channel estimation based equalization. However, for MIMO channels with extensive multipath and CoI, the performance gain achieved by classic sparsity exploitation channel estimation methods such as orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is still not enough to yield satisfactory performance. Under quasi-stationary assumption, underwater acoustic channels of adjacent data blocks exhibit correlated multipath structure, namely, multipath arrivals with similar time delay but different magnitude, which has not been exploited. In this paper, a joint sparse recovery approach is proposed to exploit the sparse correlation among adjacent data blocks to improve the performance of channel estimation. Under the framework of distributed compressed sensing (DCS), a joint sparse model which treats the multipath arrivals as sparse solutions with common time support is adopted to derive a joint sparse recovery algorithm for efficient channel estimation, the results of which are used to initialize and periodly update a channel estimation based time reversal receiver. Finally, underwater MIMO communication experimental results obtained in a shallow water channel are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, compared to the same type of receiver that do not exploit the joint sparse.

Relating the performance of time-reversal-based underwater acoustic communications in different shallow water environments

The performance of underwater acoustic communications, such as the output signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), is generally dependent on the channel specifics, hence a channel model is normally required as the performance of the channel equalizer depends on the number of tap coefficients used (e.g., a sparse equalizer) which are different for different oceans having different multipath arrivals. This letter presents theoretical arguments, and experimental data from different oceans that suggest that the increase of OSNR with the number of diverse receivers (in terms of the effective number of receivers) and the decrease of OSNR with the channel-estimation error follow a universal relationship using the time-reversal or correlation-based equalizer, despite the fact that the channels have very different properties. The reason is due to the fact that the OSNR is a function of the q function, the auto-correlation of the received impulse responses summed over all receiver channels, and the q function is approximately the same for all shallow waters given a sufficient (≥4-6) number of receivers.

A high-frequency warm shallow water acoustic communications channel model and measurements

Underwater acoustic communication is a core enabling technology with applications in ocean monitoring using remote sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles. One of the more challenging underwater acoustic communication channels is the medium-range very shallow warm-water channel, common in tropical coastal regions. This channel exhibits two key features-extensive time-varying multipath and high levels of non-Gaussian ambient noise due to snapping shrimp-both of which limit the performance of traditional communication techniques. A good understanding of the communications channel is key to the design of communication systems. It aids in the development of signal processing techniques as well as in the testing of the techniques via simulation. In this article, a physics-based channel model for the very shallow warm-water acoustic channel at high frequencies is developed, which are of interest to medium-range communication system developers. The model is based on ray acoustics and includes time-varying statistical effects as well as non-Gaussian ambient noise statistics observed during channel studies. The model is calibrated and its accuracy validated using measurements made at sea.

A frequency-modulated-carrier digital communication technique for multipath underwater acoustic channels

Along with interferences, multipath propagation and, in particular, its instability in shallow sea is the main obstacle to increasing the digital data transfer rate in underwater acoustic communication systems. Given these conditions, the use of simple waveforms, for which the product of bandwidth by the length of the processing interval is close to unity, makes testing the quality of the communication channel much more difficult and strongly limits the possibilities of devices that compensate for current waveform distortions, such as, for example, equalizers. In multipath channels with random parameters, various complex waveforms with different spectrum spreading techniques had been used for years. Complex waveforms with a large base (time-bandwidth product) offer advantages in efficiently suppressing narrowband interferences and providing asynchronous multiple-access communications. This paper proposes a new complex waveform, which uses sequences of chirp pulses. On receiving, this waveform can be divided into individual responses through converting the delays of these individual responses to frequency offsets. After a special frequency conversion of the received signal, the multipath responses are separated in the frequency domain by conventional band-pass filtering.
