Abstract

The multiband communication technique is effective in terms of performance and throughput efficiency because it can overcome selective frequency fading by allocating the same data to different frequency bands in the environment of rapidly changing channel transfer characteristic. In addition, the transmission distance can be further extended while overcoming various underwater channel environments. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of multiband transmission technique in underwater communication by increasing number of band using Turbo pi code with a coding rate of 1/3. Simulation results shows that the performance is improved when the number of bands is increased based on the received SNR.

다중 밴드 통신 기법은 채널 전달 특성 등 환경이 매우 빠르게 변하는 수중 음향통신 환경에서 동일 데이터를 서로 다른 주파수 밴드에 할당하여 선택적 페이딩을 극복할 수 있어 성능이나 전송 효율 측면에서 효과적이며, 다양한 수중 채널 환경을 극복하면서 전송 거리를 더욱 확장할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수중 음향 통신에서 다중 밴드 전송 기법의 효율성 분석을 위해 부호화율 1/3을 갖는 Turbo pi부호를 이용하여 다중 밴드의 개수를 1~5개까지 적용하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 수신 SNR을 기준으로 밴드 수의 증가 시 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있다.
