Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication attracts lots of attention due to its rapid
development in maritime applications. In order to meet the increasing service requirements …

Whether it is an oceanic search/rescue operation or marine life monitoring, the human effort
is limited by the ability to communicate effectively through underwater (UW) channels. The …

Multicarrier modulations have been recently proposed for high rate communications in
underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. The UWA channels are wideband in nature, and far …

In this thesis we designed and implemented an underwater acoustic (UWA) communication
system employing multicarrier modulation in the form of orthogonal frequency division …

Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication is getting increased attention in a wide range of
applications, such as coastal surveillance systems, environmental research and …

Wireless underwater communication involves transmitting and receiving data below water
without a wired interface. Acoustic waves have been reliably used for underwater …

Underwater acoustic communication is essential in applications like remote control in the
offshore oil industry, pollution monitoring in environmental systems, collection of scientific …

The main characteristics of underwater acoustic (UWA) channel are Narrow bandwidth,
strong interference caused by multi-path and severe noise. At the same time, these …

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) techniques are currently extensively considered in
underwater acoustic (UWA) communications to overcome the bandwidth limitation of under …

Multicarrier modulation in the form of OFDM has been actively pursued for underwater
acoustic communication recently. In this paper, we present a desirable property of OFDM …
