Underwater Acoustic Noise Model for Shallow Water Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents an empirical model for the noise of the acoustic underwater channel in shallow water from the analysis of field data measurements. A probability density function for the noise amplitude distribution is proposed and the associated likelihood functions are derived. As a result, an expression to the probability of symbol error for binary signaling is presented for the channel. Additionally, the results of simulations conducted using the field collected noise samples are presented, in order to verify the noise effect on the performance of underwater acoustic communication binary signaling systems. Keywords—Underwater Communications, Underwater Acoustic Noise, Noise Distribution.

A high-frequency warm shallow water acoustic communications channel model and measurements.
Underwater acoustic communication is a core enabling technology with applications in ocean monitoring using remote sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles. One of the more challenging underwater acoustic communication channels is the medium-range very shallow warm-water channel, common in tropical coastal regions. This channel exhibits two key features-extensive time-varying multipath and hi...
متن کاملAttack Simulation Model and Channel Statistics in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
In recent years, underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks have been used in many areas. There have been many field trials of acoustic propagation models and statistics for shallow water conditions. However, field trials are limited environmentally and, hence, not widely accepted. Simulations of the impulse response of a shallow underwater acoustic channel allows less expensive system tests ...
