Description

Technical Field

[0002] The 21st century is the century of the ocean. Human beings are facing great challenges in the development and protection of the ocean. Hydroacoustic communication and hydroacoustic positioning equipment are indispensable tools for the development and protection of the ocean. Traditional underwater data transmission and positioning are realized by two independent sets of equipment. This method not only increases the cost, but also increases the equipment operation and maintenance costs. In order to solve the communication and positioning problems with one set of equipment, researchers proposed to use time division multiplexing to realize communication and positioning functions. This method actually adds communication functions on the basis of the hardware of the positioning system. It is a loose coupling method of communication and positioning functions. The so-called loose coupling method refers to the communication and positioning of hydroacoustic communication and positioning functions through the same set of hardware equipment in a time-sharing manner, that is, the dedicated signal of hydroacoustic communication is used in the hydroacoustic communication period, and the dedicated signal of positioning is used in the positioning period. Since the loose coupling method cannot realize the communication and positioning functions at the same time through the same signal, the positioning and communication efficiency is not high.
