Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of self-learning underwater acoustic communication, and in particular to an intelligent adaptive multi-standard underwater acoustic communication system. Background Art

[0002] In view of the limitations of optical communication and radio frequency communication in water, underwater acoustic communication is currently the only solution for underwater long-distance wireless communication and is an important part of marine information collection, transmission and processing. With the growing demand for long-term real-time observation of the ocean and large-scale dynamic observation, the demand for high-quality underwater acoustic communication technology is becoming increasingly urgent. However, the underwater acoustic channel is a wireless channel with much worse transmission conditions than the radio frequency wireless channel on land. There are large and time-varying transmission delays (the propagation speed of underwater acoustics is 5 orders of magnitude smaller than the propagation speed of radio frequency), complex environmental noise (additive noise and multiplicative noise), energy fading related to distance and frequency, strong multipath effects, strong Doppler frequency expansion, etc. Especially in complex application scenarios such as long-term real-time observation of marine information (such as real-time observation of engineering geological parameters during natural gas hydrate mining), underwater networking observation in complex environments (such as monitoring and protection of coral reef ecosystems), and underwater large-scale dynamic networking observation (such as underwater target detection based on dynamic networks, seabed resource exploration, etc.), the time-varying performance of the underwater acoustic channel and its impact are more prominent, and the realization of high-quality underwater acoustic communication technology faces greater challenges.

[0003] In the known prior art, the underwater acoustic signal of the underwater acoustic communication system adopts a single carrier mode, such as FSK, PSK, OFDM, etc. The system performance is limited by the worst underwater acoustic channel in complex application scenarios, which limits the application of the underwater acoustic communication system in complex application scenarios such as long-term real-time underwater observation, underwater networking observation in complex environments, and large-scale dynamic networking. It is difficult to meet the needs of high-quality underwater acoustic communication that fully utilizes the channel bandwidth, and it is necessary to develop channel adaptive underwater acoustic communication technology.

[0004] The channel adaptive underwater acoustic communication system can adjust the parameters of the underwater acoustic communication system according to the underwater acoustic channel of complex application scenarios. According to the signal modulation method of the underwater acoustic communication system, the channel adaptive underwater acoustic communication system is mainly divided into two categories, one is a single-mode multi-parameter adaptive underwater acoustic communication system using a single signal modulation method, and the other is a multi-mode adaptive underwater acoustic communication system using multiple signal modulation methods. The single-mode multi-parameter adaptive underwater acoustic communication system mainly adapts to the changes of the underwater acoustic channel by adjusting the baseband coding method, digital modulation method, etc., and is limited by the single signal modulation method. The channel adaptation range of the single-mode multi-parameter adaptive underwater acoustic communication system is limited. The multi-mode adaptive underwater acoustic communication system can adopt different signal modulation methods to adapt to the changes of the underwater acoustic channel, such as single carrier, multi-carrier, spread spectrum and their combination, etc., which can better adapt to the changes of the underwater acoustic channel to make full use of the bandwidth of the underwater acoustic channel. However, it is known that the receiver of the existing multi-mode adaptive underwater acoustic communication system adopts the channel estimation and signal channel equalization method based on the traditional signal processing technology. Limited by the channel estimation and channel equalization performance, the performance of the multi-mode adaptive underwater acoustic communication system based on the traditional signal processing technology is limited.

[0005] In response to the demand for improving the performance of underwater acoustic communication systems in complex time-varying underwater acoustic channels, intelligent underwater acoustic communication technologies based on machine learning and deep learning networks have emerged. However, it is known that the existing intelligent underwater acoustic communication technologies are based on a single signal modulation method, and there is still the problem of limited channel adaptability of the single signal modulation method.

[0078] According to the known existing technologies, underwater acoustic communication technology mainly includes single-standard single-parameter underwater acoustic communication, single-standard multi-parameter underwater acoustic communication, multi-standard underwater acoustic communication, and intelligent single-standard underwater acoustic communication.

[0079] In terms of single-mode and single-parameter underwater acoustic communications, the performance of single-mode and single-parameter underwater acoustic communication systems (such as FSK, PSK, OFDM, etc.) that have been developed for a long time is often limited by the worst conditions of the underwater acoustic channel in complex application scenarios, which limits its application in long-term real-time underwater observation, underwater networking observation in complex environments, and large-scale dynamic networking. It is difficult to meet the needs of high-quality underwater acoustic communications that fully utilize the channel bandwidth.

[0080] In terms of single-mode multi-parameter underwater acoustic communication, the changes in the underwater acoustic channel are mainly adapted by adjusting the baseband coding method and digital modulation method. Due to the limitation of a single carrier modulation method, the channel adaptation range of the single-mode multi-parameter adaptive underwater acoustic communication system is limited.

[0081] In terms of multi-standard underwater acoustic communication, its receiver adopts channel estimation and signal channel equalization methods based on traditional signal processing technology. Limited by the channel estimation and channel equalization performance, the multi-standard adaptive underwater acoustic communication system based on traditional signal processing technology is difficult to effectively adapt to complex time-varying underwater acoustic channels.

[0082] Intelligent single-mode underwater acoustic communication is currently mainly developed based on the OFDM carrier modulation method. It is also limited by the single carrier modulation method. The channel adaptability range of the intelligent single-mode underwater acoustic communication system is limited.

[0083] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an intelligent adaptive underwater acoustic communication system.

[0084] refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides an intelligent adaptive underwater acoustic communication system, the structure of which includes: a multi-standard transmitter, a channel information identification unit, and an intelligent multi-standard receiver.

[0085] Multi-standard transmitter: It includes a data transmission unit for sending communication data, a standard switching unit for switching the modulation mode of the transmission signal, and a transmission signal modulation unit for modulating the signal; the data transmission unit, the standard switching unit and the transmission signal modulation unit are connected in sequence, and the standard switching unit serves as the receiving end of the transmitted data, and outputs modulation signals of different standards after the transmission signal is modulated. Its data frame format refers to Figure 2 .

[0086] Channel information identification unit: its input end is connected to the signal output end of the synchronization unit of the intelligent multi-standard receiver, and its output end is connected to the standard switching unit of the multi-standard transmitter.

[0087] The channel information identification unit of the intelligent adaptive underwater acoustic communication system is used to identify the signal-to-noise ratio and maximum channel delay of the underwater acoustic channel, and transmit them to the mode switching unit. The mode switching unit adjusts the signal modulation mode of the switching transmission signal according to the signal-to-noise ratio and maximum channel delay.

[0088] In order to adapt to the underwater acoustic time-varying channels of different underwater acoustic communication scenarios, in some embodiments of the present invention, the multi-standard transmitter is configured to be able to transmit one of the following modulation signal types: single carrier cyclic prefix signal (SC-CP), single carrier time domain spread spectrum signal (SC-TDSS), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal (OFDM), multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum signal (MC-FDSS). Table 1 gives the specific design description of the four signal modulation methods.

[0089] Table 1 Design of four signal modulation methods

[0090] Signal modulation method Digital modulation Spread Spectrum Spreading code length Signal subcarrier number SC-CP QPSK no -- 1 SC-TDSS QPSK yes 16 1 OFDM QPSK no -- 1024 MC-FDSS QPSK yes 16 1024

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, the output modulation mode of the underwater acoustic signal is switched by changing the configuration of the transmission signal modulation unit. In order to realize the function of outputting multiple signal modulation modes, the transmission signal modulation unit includes:

[0092] Digital modulation unit: connected to the output end of the system switching unit;

[0093] The spectrum spreading unit includes a first spectrum spreading branch and a second spectrum spreading branch, wherein the first spectrum spreading branch is provided with a switch component and a spectrum spreading module; the output end of the digital modulation unit is respectively connected to the first spectrum spreading branch and the second spectrum spreading branch; the first spectrum spreading branch and the second spectrum spreading branch are connected and converged to form the output end of the spectrum spreading unit; it should be understood that the output signal of the digital modulation unit can be sent to the next level after being subjected to spectrum spreading processing or not;

[0094] The inverse fast Fourier transform unit includes a first transform branch and a second transform branch, wherein the first transform branch is provided with a switch component and an inverse Fourier transform module; the output end of the spectrum spreading unit is respectively connected to the first transform branch and the second transform branch; the output ends of the first transform branch and the second transform branch are combined to form the output end of the inverse fast Fourier transform unit; it should be understood that the output signal of the spectrum spreading unit can be sent to the next stage after being subjected to inverse Fourier transform or not;

[0095] Framing unit: used to add pilot sequence and cyclic prefix to the output data of the inverse fast Fourier transform unit;

[0096] Frequency conversion modulation unit: used for frequency conversion processing of the output data of the framing unit;

[0097] The signal output signal of the frequency conversion modulation unit is sent to the underwater acoustic channel.

[0098] As shown above, in order to achieve the output of one of the single-carrier cyclic prefix signal, single-carrier time domain spread spectrum signal, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, and multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum signal, the following signal modulation method is designed. The transmission signal of the multi-standard transmitter is defined as S(n), n = 1, 2, 3, ..., Q s , n represents the serial number of the transmitted signal, Q s is the number of transmitted signals s(n).

[0099] The time-frequency diagram of the data frame of four signal modulation methods: single carrier cyclic prefix (SC-CP), single carrier time domain spread spectrum (SC-TDSS), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum (MC-FDSS) is shown in the figure. Figure 3a to Figure 3b shown.

[0100] SC-CP is a single carrier modulation technology. After modulation, the data is mapped on a single carrier. In order to resist frequency selective fading, a cyclic prefix is ​​added at the beginning of each symbol period. At the receiving end, the signal is first converted to the frequency domain through FFT and then intelligent signal interpretation is performed. It is more suitable for long-distance underwater acoustic communication.

[0101] The single carrier cyclic prefix signal is expressed as:

[0102] s(n)=x[k],k=1,2,3,…,Q S , n=k, where x[k] represents the transmitted data after digital modulation, and k represents the sequence number of the transmitted data.

[0103] When the multi-standard transmitter is configured to transmit a single-carrier cyclic prefix signal, the second spreading branch is turned on, the second transform branch is turned on, and the framing unit adds a cyclic prefix to the signal.

[0104] The single-carrier time-domain spread spectrum modulation technology SC-TDSS adds spread spectrum technology to SC-CP. The information signal is divided into multiple sub-channels, and each sub-channel has its own time-domain spread sequence. The time-domain spread sequence is multiplied with the data of each sub-channel to achieve time-domain expansion of the signal. The spread spectrum technology used in this modulation signal reduces the data transmission rate. The signal has better anti-interference, anti-multipath, and anti-fading capabilities under the conditions of high delay and low signal-to-noise ratio. It is more suitable for underwater acoustic communication environments with more complex environments and harsh conditions.

[0105] The single-carrier time-domain spread spectrum signal is expressed as:

[0106] s(n)=x[k]c[i], i=1,2,3,…,N p , n=(k-1)N p +i, where c[i] is the spreading sequence, i is the sequence number of the spreading sequence, and N p is the spreading sequence length.

[0107] When the multi-standard transmitter is configured to transmit a single-carrier time-domain spread spectrum signal, the first spread spectrum branch is turned on, the second transform branch is turned on, and the signal is spread and inverse Fourier transformed.

[0108] Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology OFDM improves data transmission efficiency by transmitting multiple low-speed data streams simultaneously. It has a faster transmission rate and good performance in combating multipath interference and frequency selective fading, but it has high requirements for the channel signal-to-noise ratio.

[0109] The OFDM signal is expressed as:

[0110] l=1,2,3,…,Q s , n=l,k=1,2,3,…,NQ S , where N is the fast

[0111] The number of subcarriers for the fast Fourier transform.

[0112] When the multi-standard transmitter is configured to transmit an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, the second spread spectrum branch is turned on and the first conversion branch is turned on.

[0113] MC-FDSS is a multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum technology. By adding spread spectrum technology on the basis of OFDM, data is distributed to different subcarriers, thereby improving channel capacity and anti-interference ability, and is more suitable for relatively harsh channel environments.

[0114] When the multi-standard transmitter is configured to transmit a single-multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum signal, the first spread spectrum branch is turned on, the second conversion branch is turned on, and the framing unit adds a cyclic prefix to the signal.

[0115] The multi-carrier frequency domain spread spectrum signal is expressed as:

[0116] l=1,2,3,…,Q s , n = l, where y(p) is the data sequence after spread spectrum, y(p) = x[k]c[i], i=1,2,3,…,N p , p=(k-1)N p +i.

[0117] The intelligent multi-standard receiver is connected to the underwater acoustic channel, receives the output signal of the underwater acoustic channel, identifies the modulation mode of the output signal of the underwater acoustic channel, and analyzes the output signal of the underwater acoustic channel.

[0122] Intelligent modulation mode identification unit: connected to the signal output end of the Doppler estimation and compensation unit, used to intelligently identify the modulation mode of the underwater acoustic communication signal based on the bandpass underwater acoustic signal.

[0123] The intelligent modulation mode recognition unit mainly completes the signal modulation mode recognition based on the passband signal. Considering that the characteristics of the time series signal are not obvious, the present invention adopts the time-frequency analysis method to convert the time series signal into a time-frequency image signal for recognition. The specific time-frequency analysis method adopted is the smoothed pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution.

[0124] The mathematical definition of smooth pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution can be expressed as:

[0125]

[0126] Among them, SPWD z (t,f) represents the smoothed pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution of the signal z(t), m(τ) is the time window function, g(ut) is the frequency window function, t and f are time and frequency respectively, and u and τ are integral variables.

[0127] Based on this, in some embodiments of the present invention, the step of intelligently identifying the modulation mode of the underwater acoustic communication signal according to the bandpass underwater acoustic signal includes:

[0128] Signal conversion module: used to convert the underwater acoustic communication signal time series signal into a time-frequency image signal;

[0129] Signal recognition neural network: receives the time-frequency image signal and identifies the signal modulation mode based on the time-frequency image signal.

Figure 3a to Figure 3b shown.

In different implementations, three typical lightweight neural networks ShuffleNet, EfficientNet and MobileNet can be used, and the parameters of the three lightweight neural networks are shown in Table 2.

[0132] The recognition result of the intelligent modulation mode recognition unit is mainly used in two aspects: on the one hand, it is used to select appropriate signal frequency conversion demodulation, deframing, and FFT processing; on the other hand, it is used to select an appropriate intelligent signal interpretation network model.

[0138] The intelligent signal interpretation unit is connected to the output end of the fast Fourier transform unit and the output end of the intelligent modulation mode identification unit, and is used to interpret the underwater acoustic communication signal after the fast Fourier transform in combination with the identified modulation mode to obtain communication data.

[0139] The input of the intelligent signal interpretation unit is the frequency domain signal of the pilot sequence and data sequence after fast Fourier transform processing, and the output is the baseband signal before digital demodulation. Signal interpretation is realized based on a deep learning network, which adopts a data-driven deep learning network and a model-driven deep learning network respectively. The data-driven deep learning network is specifically the optimized DNN and LSTM neural networks, and the model-driven deep learning network is specifically the designed ModelDriven-Net neural network.

[0140] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intelligent signal interpretation unit adopts an LSTM network, connected to the output end of the fast Fourier transform unit, and interprets the underwater acoustic communication signal after the fast Fourier transform. The present invention adopts a double-layer LSTM network. The network structure is shown in Table 3.

[0146] The third number is less than the first number, and the fourth number is less than the second number.

[0147] According to the characteristics of signal modulation, the structure of DNN neural network is optimized. For SC-CP and OFDM non-spread spectrum modulation signals, DNN network structure with more layers and nodes is adopted; for SC-TDSS and MC-FDSS spread spectrum modulation signals, the number of parameters is reduced and DNN network with fewer layers and nodes is adopted. The specific DNN network structures are shown in Table 4 and Table 5.

[0170] The system simulation analysis process and results of the intelligent adaptive underwater acoustic communication system provided by the present invention are as follows.

[0171] (1) Underwater acoustic channel modeling

[0172] The system simulation is based on the Millica underwater acoustic channel model. Only the influence of large-scale factors is considered in the process of model establishment. Three typical channel models are established by changing the water depth, transmission distance and relative position, as shown in Table 9. The three channels are represented by CH1, CH2 and CH3 respectively. The relative position I means that the transceiver is at a distance of H / 2 from the bottom of the water, and the relative position II means that the transmitter is at a distance of 3H / 4 from the bottom of the water, and the receiver is at a distance of H / 4 from the bottom of the water.

[0173] Due to the combined influence of multiple complex factors such as water movement, temperature and salinity changes, dynamic characteristics of the sea surface and seabed, signal frequency dependence, refraction and scattering effects, nonlinear propagation effects, and changes in environmental noise and interference sources, under the same underwater acoustic channel conditions, the maximum channel delay and the number of multipaths will also be different accordingly, but the overall characteristics of the channel are basically the same. Therefore, 3,600 communication situations were selected under each channel.

[0176] (2) Dataset Construction

[0177] 1) Construction of dataset for intelligent signal modulation recognition

[0178] Under the conditions of channel CH1 signal-to-noise ratio of -5dB, 0dB, 5dB, 10dB and 15dB, 2000 images are generated for neural network training, and 200 images for each signal-to-noise ratio are tested.

[0179] The dataset construction and parameter settings for network training are shown in Table 10.

[0180] Table 10 Communication scenario parameters for underwater acoustic channel modeling

[0181]

[0182] 2) Construction of data set for intelligent signal interpretation

[0183] A) Dataset Construction for Data-Driven Networks

[0184] The data-driven network uses DNN and LSTM. The input of the data set is the signal after FFT processing, and the real and imaginary parts of the signal are separated and input into the neural network. The label is the bit signal sent by the transmitter. The data set is generated under the condition of a signal-to-noise ratio of 25dB, generating 50,000 frames of data, divided into 35,000 frames of training sets and 15,000 frames of validation sets. The optimization algorithm uses Adam optimization, the validation set evaluation frequency is 500, the number of training rounds is changed to 13 rounds, and the number of iterations per round is 3500. And in the range of -10 to 10dB, a 2000-frame test set is generated every 2dB to verify the performance of the model.

[0185] B) Dataset Construction for Model-Driven Networks

[0186] The channel estimation subnet is trained under a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 dB. The input of the data set is the rough channel impulse response estimated by the traditional LS algorithm, and the label is the perfect channel impulse response without noise. The training set and validation set are divided into 7:3, with 35,000 frames and 15,000 frames respectively. The optimization algorithm uses Adam optimization, and the validation set evaluation frequency is 500. Compared with data-driven neural networks, model-driven neural networks are simpler to train, with less computation and faster training. Therefore, the number of training rounds is changed to 10 rounds, with 3500 iterations per round. L2 regularization is used to prevent overfitting, and the value of L2 regularization is set to 0.002. After the training is completed, the parameters of the channel estimation subnet are fixed.

[0187] The channel equalization subnet is also trained at a signal-to-noise ratio of 25dB, and the data set is also divided in a ratio of 7:3. The network training has a certain degree of complexity compared to the previous one, and 10 rounds of training is not optimal for the network. Here, the number of network training rounds is set to 20 rounds, and the number of iterations per round is 1750. The other parameters are set the same. After the training is completed, a test set of 2000 frames is generated every 2dB in the range of -10 to 10dB to verify the performance of the model.

[0188] (3) Network training parameters

[0189] The network training parameters of the data-driven neural network and the model-driven neural network are shown in Tables 10 and 11.

[0195] (4) System simulation test results and analysis

[0196] 1) Test results of intelligent signal modulation recognition

[0197] Figure 8 The figure shows the comparison of recognition accuracy of three neural networks. According to the results, it can be seen that as the signal-to-noise ratio increases, the signal recognition rate also increases. Under the condition of a signal-to-noise ratio of 0dB, the recognition rates achieved by the three networks all reach more than 90%.

[0198] 2) Performance test results of intelligent signal interpretation

[0199] After training the neural network according to the network structure and network training parameters, the system simulated and tested the performance of intelligent signal interpretation of the three networks under the CH1 channel condition. The simulation test results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure. The results show that the performance of the signal processing module of the intelligent algorithm is significantly better than that of the traditional LS+ZF and LS+MMSE algorithms, and the performance of the three intelligent methods is relatively similar. For SC-CP, SC-TDSS, and OFDM signal modulation methods, the model-driven underwater acoustic communication intelligent receiver has better performance; for MC-FDSS signal modulation method, the performance of the model-driven underwater acoustic communication intelligent receiver is similar to that of the LSTM underwater acoustic communication intelligent receiver, but is slightly worse than DNN overall.

[0200] The results of intelligent signal interpretation of different signal modulation modes are shown in Figure 9. It can be seen that the channel adaptability of the four signal modulation modes SC-CP, SC-TDSS, OFDM, and MC-FDSS is different, and the bit error rate is less than 10 -4 In the case of CH1 channel conditions, OFDM can be used in scenarios where the SNR is above 8dB, SC-CP can be used in scenarios where the SNR is above 5dB, MC-FDSS can be used in scenarios where the SNR is above -3dB, and SC-TDSS can be used in scenarios where the SNR is above -7dB, demonstrating the channel adaptability of the intelligent multi-standard communication method.

[0201] In order to verify the generalization performance of the three neural networks, the system further simulated and tested the performance of the intelligent signal interpretation of the three networks under the conditions of CH2 and CH3 channels. The test results are as follows: Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown in the results, it can be seen that the communication performance of the three intelligent signal interpretation methods in CH2 and CH3 channels is similar to that in CH1 channel, and has good generalization performance.

[0202] (5) Network computational complexity analysis

[0203] The statistical comparison of network parameters of the three neural networks is shown in Table 12. It can be seen that the model-driven neural network has smaller parameters. Considering that the performance of the three networks is comparable, the model-driven neural network is more suitable for deployment in embedded systems with limited computing resources.
