Channel Estimation for OTFS System over Doubly Spread Sparse Acoustic Channels

This paper addresses sparse channels estimation problem for the generalized linear models(GLM)in the orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)underwater acoustic(UWA)system.OTFS works in the delay-Doppler domain,where timevarying channels are characterized as delay-Doppler impulse responses.In fact,a typical doubly spread UWA channel is associated with several resolvable paths,which exhibits a structured sparsity in the delayDoppler domain.To leverage the structured sparsity of the doubly spread UWA channel,we develop a structured sparsity-based generalized approximated message passing(GAMP)algorithm for reliable channel estimation in quantized OTFS systems.The proposed algorithm has a lower computational complexity compared to the conventional Bayesian algorithm.In addition,the expectation maximum algorithm is employed to learn the sparsity ratio and the noise variance.Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has superior performance and low computational complexity for quantized OTFS systems.

Waveform diversity based sonar system for target localization

A new monostatic array system taking advantage of diverse waveforms to improve the performance of underwater tar- get localization is proposed. Unlike the coherent signals between different elements in common active array, the transmitted signals from different elements here are spatially orthogonal waveforms which allow for array processing in the transit mode and result in an extension of array aperture. The mathematical derivation of Capon estimator for this sonar system is described in detail. And the performance of this orthogonal-waveform based sonar is an- alyzed and compared with that of its phased-array counterpart by water tank experiments. Experimental results show that this sonar system could achieve 12 dB-15 dB additional array gain over its phased-array counterpart, which means a doubling of maximum detection range. Moreover, the angular resolution is significantly improved at lower SNR.

6G:Ubiquitously Extending to the Vast Underwater World of the Oceans

1.Introduction There is a significant gap between atmospheric space and undersea space for wireless radio transmission.The interface between air and seawater is a barrier to prevent radio wave transmission across the boundary.This is because seawater is an electrically conducting medium,and radio waves suffer significant absorptive attenuation there.As a result,there is no internet,reliable mobile communication,high-quality video,and long-distance duplex wireless communication in the underwater world of oceans.It is pitiful since the oceans share 71%of the surface of our planet and are of great importance to our economy,ecology,and living environment.

New method for detection fusion of MAC based on DCM and NP rule

The problem of distributed detection fusion using multiple sensors for remote underwater target detection is studied. Considering that multiple access channel （MAC） schemes are able to offer high efficiency in bandwidth usage and consume less energy than the parallel access channel （PAC）, the MAC scheme is introduced into the underwater target detection field. The model of underwater distributed detection fusion based on MAC schemes is established. A new method for detection fusion of MAC based on deflection coefficient maximization （DCM） and Neyman-Pearson （NP） rule is proposed. Under the power constraint of local sensors, this paper uses the DCM theory to derive the optimal weight coefficients and offsets. The closed-form expressions of detection probability and false alarm probability for fusion systems are obtained. The optimal detection performance of fusion systems is analyzed and deeply researched. Both the theory analysis and simulation experiments indicate that the proposed method could improve the detection performance and decrease the error probability effectively under power constraints of local sensors and low signal to noise ratio.

Theoretical convergence analysis of complex Gaussian kernel LMS algorithm

With the vigorous expansion of nonlinear adaptive filtering with real-valued kernel functions,its counterpart complex kernel adaptive filtering algorithms were also sequentially proposed to solve the complex-valued nonlinear problems arising in almost all real-world applications.This paper firstly presents two schemes of the complex Gaussian kernel-based adaptive filtering algorithms to illustrate their respective characteristics.Then the theoretical convergence behavior of the complex Gaussian kernel least mean square（LMS） algorithm is studied by using the fixed dictionary strategy.The simulation results demonstrate that the theoretical curves predicted by the derived analytical models consistently coincide with the Monte Carlo simulation results in both transient and steady-state stages for two introduced complex Gaussian kernel LMS algonthms using non-circular complex data.The analytical models are able to be regard as a theoretical tool evaluating ability and allow to compare with mean square error（MSE） performance among of complex kernel LMS（KLMS） methods according to the specified kernel bandwidth and the length of dictionary.
