Abstract

Transmission characteristics of the sound propagation is very complicate and sparse in shallow water. To increase the performance of underwater acoustic communication system, lots of channel estimation technique has been proposed. In this paper, we proposed the channel estimation based on LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm which has faster convergence speed than conventional sparse-aware LMS algorithms. The proposed method combines $L_p$-norm LMS with soft decision process. Simulation was performed by using the sound velocity profile which acquired in real sea trial. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method shows the improved performance and faster convergence speed than conventional methods.

천해에서 음파 전달은 매우 복잡하며, sparse한 전달 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 환경에서 수중음향통신 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 채널을 추정하기 위한 여러 방법들이 연구되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 sparse-aware LMS(Least Mean Square) 알고리즘들보다 빠른 수렴속도를 갖는 LMS 기반 채널 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 $L_p$-norm LMS 알고리즘과 soft decision 과정을 결합한 것이다. 모의실험은 실제 해상 실험을 통하여 얻은 수중 음속 데이터를 바탕으로 수행되었다. 그 결과 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법들보다 빠른 수렴속도와 향상된 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
