Abstract:

In order to ensure the high reliability of signal transmission in the underwater acoustic channel, LDPC convolutional codes are used to study the improvement of the information reliability in the underwater acoustic channel in this paper. The gradient model combined with the multipath model is adopted to simulate the underwater acoustic channel, and the FBMC/OQAM underwater acoustic channel communication system is built according to the characteristics that FBMC can suppress inter symbol interference and OQAM can suppress adjacent carrier interference. The LDPC convolutional code is adopted as the channel encoding scheme for realizing the lossless transmission of multimedia audio and image signals in the underwater acoustic channel. The RC-LDPC convolutional code is also used to study the decoding performance of the FH underwater acoustic communication system. Simulation results show that LDPC convolutional codes have a good bit error rate (BER) performance in the underwater acoustic channel, achieve a low BER signal transmission, and can effectively overcome the multipath effect and improve channel utilization. Thus, the LDPC convolutional code can be selected as the channel coding scheme for underwater acoustic communication.

Key words: underwater acoustic channel, frequency modulation, LDPC convolutional code
