This paper studies the energy efficiency power allocation for cognitive radio networks based on uplink orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. The power allocation problem is intended to minimize the maximum energy efficiency measured by "Joule per bit" metric, under total power constraint and robust aggregate mutual interference power constraint. However, the above problem is non-convex. To make it solvable, an equivalent convex optimization problem is derived that can be solved by general fractional programming. Then, a robust energy efficiency power allocation scheme is presented. Simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The existing underwater acoustic communications modem is developing based on commercial products, so it is possible on functionality and performance of underwater acoustic communications modem implementation. But the production of development system is required to single platform system implementation at the system's size and cost. So this paper designs and implements the signal processing module as an important role to single hardware platform production of underwater acoustic communication modem by using TigerSHARC DSP processor.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field in terms of severe channel environments such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of the image transmission using vertical sensor array instead of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation diagram, and received image quality.

Target detection by acoustic barrier method includes active and passive sonar technique and time reversal process whose theoretical background is already well defined. In this paper, the concept and theory of underwater detection by passive ocean time reversal is established. Also, the reason that this study was conducted was to investigate feasibility of complex mathematical modeling to provide some predictive capability for underwater acoustic barrier with passive time reversal. It may eventually lead to a useful predictive tool when designing underwater acoustic barrier detection system using the passive time reversal concept.

Underwater sound speed is an important analysis parameter on an estimation of the underwater radiated noise (URN) emitted from vessels. This paper aims to present an underwater sound speed measurement procedure using a cross-correlation of time-domain acoustic signals and validate the procedure through an experiment in a reverberant water tank. For the purpose, time-domain acoustic signals transmitted by a Gaussian pulse excitation from an acoustic projector have been measured at 20 hydrophone positions in the reverberant water tank. Then, the sound speed in water has been calculated by a linear regression using 190 cross-correlation cases of distances and time lags between the received signals and the result has been compared with those estimated by the existing empirical formulae. From the result, it is regarded that the presented experimental procedure to measure an underwater sound speed is reliably applicable if the time resolution is sufficiently high in the measurement.

As the demand for underwater systems providing pollution monitoring, marine ecosystem observation, surveillance monitoring is increased, acoustic modem for short-range underwater communication is spotlighted as one of significant research topics. Typically, in shallow water, it is so hard to analyze acoustic wave which undergoes spreading, absorption, reflection and scattering through transmission that there are limited advanced results. Furthermore, in order for the modem to be loaded in a fixed node or a moving vehicle in shallow water, its size should be small enough. In this paper, we address underwater acoustic channel model and design and implement an efficient micro acoustic modem which is adequate for short-range underwater communication. The developed modem is verified in a lake by varying working range and data rate up to 500 meters and 2 kbps, respectively.

This paper deals with the design techniques for underwater acoustic basin. An underwater acoustic basin is needed for test and calibration of acoustic sensors, acoustic digital communication system, acoustic measurement system, and underwater image data telemetry system. KRISO(Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering) have planned the construction of an underwater acoustic tank from 1999 to 2001 through internal project. We studied about absorbtion characteristics of a porous re-cycled rubber which is selected as a absorption materials and designed absorption plate with wedge shape. The simulation of reflection analysis along the wedge angle for wedged type plate was presented.

The inter-symbol interference(ISI) is one of the main obstacles to reliable high-rate data communication in the shallow underwater acoustic channel. This paper studies on the simulation of adaptive equalizer used as a means of mitigating the ISI in the shallow underwater acoustic communication system. The underwater channel is modeled as a superposition of multiple paths, whose lengths and relative delays are calculated from the channel geometry. Based on this channel model, computer simulations are carried out to investigate the performance of adaptive equalizer in the shallow underwater acoustic channel.

The terrestrial communication network and the underwater acoustic communication network have very different communication characteristics each other in operational environments, communication media, propagation delay, frequency bandwidth, transmission speed, bit error rate, and so on. These different characteristics cause some different address schemes and different maximum transmission units and, as a result, these differences must form certainly obstacles to the intercommunication between a terrestrial communication network and an underwater acoustic communication network. In this paper, we presents a method to use the virtual addresses to resolve the interconnection problem caused by different address schemes between a terrestrial communication network and an underwater acoustic communication network, and, through a mathematical modeling, we analyze the performance on the message transceiving delay time in the underwater environment.
