In consideration of the underwater acoustic fading channel, an adaptive threshold algorithm is proposed for preamble detection of burst communication packet in underwater sensor networks. Instead of taking a predetermined constant as in a constant threshold algorithm, the threshold is adjusted according to the instantaneous signal power estimation. Theoretical analysis and computer simulation are performed which show that the algorithm has the characteristics of the constant false-alarm detection, and that the detection probability is clearly improved, compared to that of the constant threshold detection. In order to solve the problem that side lobe appears, a sliding window is introduced. With lake experiment, this algorithm is proved to achieve good performance and be proper for practical application.
