| Title: High-speed underwater acoustic communications – Challenges and solutions Abstract: The underwater acoustic (UA) channel, especially the shallow water UA channel, is one of the most challenging channels for wireless communication, due to its extremely limited bandwidth, severe fading, strong multipath interference, and significant Doppler shifts. In this talk, we first introduce the characteristics of UA channels. Then, we discuss the challenges in the communication system design. After this, we present some of our research outcomes in high-speed single-carrier and OFDM UA communications, including both the transmitter and receiver design. Research in underwater communication is interdisciplinary in nature, which involves multiple areas including acoustics, electronics, signal processing, and communication technology. We share our experience and lessons learned over the years and hope that this talk will inspire researchers to work in the challenging area of UA communication. |
