Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blend of introductory material and advanced signal processing and communication techniques, of critical importance to underwater system and network development This book, which is the first to describe the processing techniques central to underwater OFDM, is arranged into four distinct sections: First, it describes the characteristics of underwater acoustic channels, and stresses the difference from wireless radio channels. Then it goes over the basics of OFDM and channel coding. The second part starts with an overview of the OFDM receiver, and develops various modules for the receiver design in systems with single or multiple transmitters. This is the main body of the book. Extensive experimental data sets are used to verify the receiver performance. In the third part, the authors discuss applications of the OFDM receiver in i) deep water channels, which may contain very long separated multipath clusters, ii) interference-rich environments, where an unintentional interference such as Sonar will be present, and iii) a network with multiple users where both non-cooperative and cooperative underwater communications are developed. Lastly, it describes the development of a positioning system with OFDM waveforms, and the progress on the OFDM modem development. Closely related industries include the development and manufacturing of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and scientific sensory equipment. AUVs and sensors in the future could integrate modems, based on the OFDM technology described in this book. Contents includes: Underwater acoustic channel characteristics/OFDM basics/Peak-to-average-ratio control/Detection and Doppler estimation (Doppler scale and CFO)/Channel estimation and noise estimation/A block-by-block progressive receiver and performance results/Extensions to multi-input multi-output OFDM/Receiver designs for multiple users/Cooperative underwater OFDM (Physical layer network coding and dynamic coded cooperation)/Localization with OFDM waveforms/Modem developments A valuable resource for Graduate and postgraduate students on electrical engineering or physics courses; electrical engineers, underwater acousticians, communications engineers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the latest research on cognitive network-layer methods and smart adaptive physical-layer methods in underwater networks. Underwater communication requires extendable and delay-tolerant underwater acoustic networks capable of supporting multiple frequency bands, data rates and transmission ranges. The book also discusses a suitable foreground communication stack for mixed mobile/static networks, a technology that requires adaptive physical layer waveforms and cognitive network strategies with underlying cooperative and non-cooperative robust processes. The goal is to arrive at a universally applicable standard in the area of Underwater Internet-of-Things [ISO/IEC 30140, 30142, 30143]. The book is the second spin-off of the research project RACUN, after the first RACUN-book "Underwater Acoustic Networking Techniques" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-642-25224-2)
Download or read book Reinforcement Learning Based Mobile Underwater Acoustic Communications written by Qiang Fu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater acoustic communication technologies are becoming increasingly important due to the widespread adoption of autonomous unmanned vehicles (AUVs) in ocean data collection. The communication support provided by acoustic telemetry makes it possible for multiple AUVs to coordinate during underwater missions. Mobile underwater acoustic communications is still an active field of research. Various technical issues, such as reliable communications between two mobile nodes, multi-user communications, and joint optimization of navigation and communications are awaiting for satisfactory solutions. In this thesis, we develop solutions for several of these issues. The first effort considers an adaptive communication system based on time-reversed orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing methods for the underwater acoustic channels. In this adaptive system, the receiver sends truncated q-functions to the transmitter, which then performs mapping selection for the individual sub-carriers. Simulations demonstrate the advantages of the proposed adaptive system, achieving higher data rates and lower feedback costs. The second effort addresses the extended propagation delay in closed-loop adaptive communications for mobile platforms. An adaptive modulation strategy is developed based on reinforcement learning. Specifically, a Dyna-Q algorithm is presented to improve the communication throughput. Our simulations show that the Dyna-Q algorithm achieves a higher throughput and lower bit-error-rates than the direct feedback. The third effort provides a solution to the acoustic communication problem with multiple AUVs. We propose a virtual multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) strategy that selects transmitters from a subset of AUVs to form a virtual transmit array. A user selection algorithm is used to determine the active AUV subset for data transmissions. Adaptive modulation is combined to further improve throughput. The user selection and modulation choice are determined by the predicted data rates, thus increasing spectral efficiency of the uplink. In the last effort of this thesis, we address the trajectory optimization for underwater data muling with mobile nodes. In this scenario, multiple AUVs sample a mission area and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) visit underway AUVs to retrieve survey data. We propose a nearest-K reinforcement learning algorithm to optimize ASV travel tracks. The learning-based algorithm can simultaneously maximize fairness in data transmissions and minimize the travel distance of the surface nodes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following underwater acoustic channel modeling, this book investigates the relationship between coherence time and transmission distances. It considers the power allocation issues of two typical transmission scenarios, namely short-range transmission and medium-long range transmission. For the former scenario, an adaptive system is developed based on instantaneous channel state information. The primary focus is on cooperative dual-hop orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).This book includes the decomposed fountain codes designed to enable reliable communications with higher energy efficiency. It covers the Doppler Effect, which improves packet transmission reliability for effective low-complexity mirror-mapping-based intercarrier interference cancellation schemes capable of suppressing the intercarrier interference power level. Designed for professionals and researchers in the field of underwater acoustic communications, this book is also suitable for advanced-level students in electrical engineering or computer science.
