Abstract

The adaptive transmission techniques are efficient method for underwater acoustic communication to improve the system efficiency by varying transmission parameters according to channel conditions. In this paper, we construct four transmission modes with different data rates using the convolutional codes, which is freely set to size of information bits. On the receiver side, one critical component of adaptive system is to find which mode has best performance. In this paper, we proposed threshold detection algorithm to decide appropriate mode and applied turbo equalization method based on BCJR decoder in order to improve performance. We analyzed the performance of four modes based on threshold detection algorithm through the lake experiment.

적응형 전송 기법은 수중 음향 채널의 상태에 따라 전송 파라미터를 변경하여 전송 및 성능을 향상 시키는 효율적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 적응형 전송 기법에서 전송 모드를 결정하기 위한 네 가지 모드와 이의 모드를 검출하기 위한 세 가지 임계값 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 송신기에서 정보비트의 크기를 자유롭게 설정하기 위하여 컴볼루션 부호를 사용하였으며, 수신기에서는 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 BCJR 복호 기반 터보등화기법을 적용하였다. 또한 수중 실험을 통해 각 모드에서 성능을 만족하는 임계값 간의 관계를 분석하였다.
