• Transmit Beamforming for Underwater Acoustic OFDM Systems

  IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering · 2023-09-13 · 25 citations

  articleSenior author

  This article addresses the problem of transmit beamforming for underwater acoustic communication systems within the framework of multicarrier signaling based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The system consists of a transmitter equipped with a uniform linear array and a single receiver. Transmit beamforming requires the transmitter to have complete knowledge of the channel to the receiver; however, this assumption is often not justified in acoustic channels with long feedbac…

• Multicarrier Acoustic Communications in Multiuser and Interference-Limited Regimes

  IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering · 2023-02-02 · 14 citations

  articleSenior author

  In this article, we address the design of a multicarrier communication system based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and direct sequence spread spectrum. The design targets operation in the low-signal-to-noise-ratio regimes and multiuser settings. Specifically, coding is employed across carriers such that channel estimation and signal detection are coupled. We consider both coherent and differentially coherent detection and extend the principles to multichannel reception. A custom-d…

• ACT: an Acoustic Communications Testbed

  IEEE INFOCOM 2022 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS) · 2022 · 10 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  We address the design of an acoustic communications testbed with the possibility to implement the acoustic feedback. The design focuses on providing an experimental verification for signal processing algorithms that are applicable to both in-air and underwater scenarios. Feedback highlights the possibilities of acquiring channel conditions, and enables adaptation on the transmit side. We demonstrate our testbed through multi-user multi-carrier uplink and downlink communications and adaptive modu…

• Differential orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication in water pipeline channels

  The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2020 · 10 citations

  The problem of information transmission through water pipelines is addressed and a class of methods based on differentially encoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is proposed. Specifically, two methods are investigated; one based on conventional differential encoding with an estimation of the average time of arrival and another based on double encoding. Results show that the first approach improves performance in the low signal to noise ratio (SNR) region, while the second is…
