A criterion based adaptive RSIC scheme in underwater communication

Multi-access interference(MAI)is the main source limiting the capacity and quality of the multiple-input multipleoutput orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM)system which fulfills the demand of high-speed transmission rate and high quality of service for future underwater acoustic(UWA)communication.Therefore,multi-user detection(MUD)is needed at the receiver of the MIMO-OFDM system to suppress the effect of MAI.In this research,MUD is achieved by using a criterion based adaptive recursive successive interference cancellation(RSIC)scheme at the receiver of a MIMO-OFDM system whose transceiver model in underwater communication is implemented by using the Bellhop simulation system.The proposed scheme estimates and eliminates the MAI through user signal detection and subtraction from received signals at the receiver of the MIMO-OFDM system in underwater environment.The bit error rate(BER)performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed by using weight filtering and weight selection criteria.By Matlab simulation,it is shown that the BER performance of the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional matched filter(MF)detector,the adaptive successive interference cancellation(SIC)scheme,and the adaptive RSIC scheme in the UWA network.
