Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the current era of rapid technological development, the importance of communication technology has become increasingly prominent. Among them, underwater acoustic communication, as a special communication method, plays a crucial role in fields such as ocean exploration, underwater monitoring, and military applications. The modulation and demodulation technology of signals is the core link in an underwater acoustic communication system, directly affecting the quality and efficiency of communication.

[0003] The underwater acoustic channel is an extremely complex and variable environment. When sound waves propagate in water, they are affected by various factors such as absorption, scattering, refraction, and multipath effects, resulting in signal attenuation and distortion. Due to the characteristics of the density and pressure of water, the propagation speed of the sound source is relatively slow, restricting the communication bandwidth and data transmission rate.

[0004] Traditional underwater acoustic communication is limited by the characteristics of complex ocean channels, such as multipath fading, time-varying Doppler effect, and narrowband transmission. Generally, low-order modulations such as FSK, QPSK, and single-beam transmission are adopted, resulting in low transmission rates, usually <10 kbps, high bit error rates (BER>1e-3 when SNR = 10 dB), poor Doppler tolerance within ±200 Hz, and a lack of physical layer security mechanisms and ecological compatibility designs.

[0135] 256 - QAM, that is, 256 - Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, is a high - order modulation technique that realizes high - data - rate transmission by mapping multiple bits to discrete points on the complex plane; the discrete points of 256 - QAM in the complex plane are composed of a 16×16 uniform grid, and the mapping rule:

[0162] Generate the first 3 pilot values:

[0163] x 1 = 4 × 0.3 × 0.7 = 0.84 → p[0] = sin(π × 0.84) = 0.454,

[0164] x 2 = 4 × 0.84 × 0.16 = 0.5376 → p[1] = sin(π × 0.5376) = 0.999,

[0169] Dynamically adjust the order α of the fractional Fourier transform to match the time-frequency fading characteristics of the channel; The transform order α ∈ [0.2, 0.8], optimizing the time-frequency focusing; For example, when α = 0.25, the time-frequency interference is reduced;

[0170] It represents the ratio of the channel coherence time to the coherence bandwidth, quantifying the channel time-frequency characteristics;

[0171] Map the ratio to the transform order; where, Tc is the channel coherence time and Bc is the channel coherence bandwidth; calculate the transform order:

[0172] The time-frequency focusing property is improved, and the bit error rate is reduced in a time-varying channel.

[0173] It should be noted that all formulas are verified through actual physical parameter assignment and numerical calculation. Combining with measured data, such as a rate of 48 kbps and a bit error rate of 1e -5 proves the feasibility of the technical solution.

[0174] Example of data stream verification, taking the transmission of 48 kbps data as an example:

[0175] The modulation process is that the input data is a binary sequence with a length of 1024 bits.

[0176] After Turbo+RS coding, 1536 bits are output with a code rate of 1 / 3.

[0177] 256-QAM mapping generates 512 symbols.

[0178] OFDM modulation allocates 64 subcarriers, and 48 are activated after dynamic allocation.

[0179] Add chaotic pilots, insert 10 ms pilot signals per frame, and the chaotic initial value = 0.3.

[0180] The demodulation process is that the received signal SNR = 10 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio is increased to 14 dB after beamforming.

[0181] The fractional Fourier transform α = 0.25 reduces the time-frequency interference.

[0182] The LSTM-CNN channel estimation network outputs MSE = 7.8e -5 ,

[0183] After MMSE-SIC detection, the bit error rate is reduced to 1e -5 .

[0184] The working principle of the underwater high-speed underwater acoustic communication signal modulation and demodulation method based on multi-beam diversity of the present invention is as follows:

[0185] Transmitter modulation: After the original data is concatenated and encoded by Turbo code and RS code, modulation symbols are generated through 256-QAM mapping, and quantum noise perturbation is injected to enhance security; the symbols are modulated by OFDM and subcarriers are dynamically allocated, and at the same time, a CAZAC pilot sequence encrypted by chaos is embedded; the signal after space-time coding is transmitted by an eight-element cross-shaped multi-beam transducer array, and directional coverage is achieved through beam weight calculation;

[0186] Receiver demodulation: After the received signal is optimized for beam switching and CAZAC sequence synchronization through adaptive beamforming Q learning, the fractional Fourier transform is used to adaptively adjust the order to process time-frequency fading, and a three-dimensional compensation matrix is constructed through the LSTM-CNN joint network to correct the multipath and Doppler effects; after OFDM demodulation, the MMSE-SIC detection is used to separate the signals, the data is restored through soft decision decoding, and the chaotic pilot is extracted to achieve synchronous positioning.

[0187] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those who are familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
