In a multi-carrier transmission scheme (frequency domain multiplexed—FDM), a single high rate data stream is split into multiple lower rate data streams each transmitted over a different carrier (e.g., a tone or bin). The data rate possible from a multiple-carrier transmission scheme is theoretically equivalent to the data rate possible from a single-carrier (including baseband) scheme with the same composite bandwidth. The scheme allows for a communications system that can selectively send each data signal (e.g., audio data, video data, raw data, etc.) partitioned out into full and half duplex sections (e.g., tones). The scheme can have a reduced complexity and cost and use less bandwidth. This is done by being able to selectively split a data signal into both full and half duplex tones.

The invention discloses a method for estimating pulse noise in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing) underwater acoustic communication system. At a receiving end, sparse estimation is performed on pulse noise on an OFDM signal in an underwater acoustic channel transmission process according to a frequency domain signal subjected to redundant Doppler frequency shift compensation, and frequency offset compensation is performed on the frequency domain signal subjected to the redundant Doppler frequency shift compensation with void subcarriers.

An OFDM communication system employs a cell time division time frame for a plurality of overlapping cells wherein the time frame comprises time slots with each time slot allocated to one of the overlapping cells and each time slot being either an information exchange time slot or a data time slot. Remote nodes (101-105) transmit resource requests for at least one subcarrier in a data time slot to one or more of the central nodes (107, 109) in the information exchange time slots of those nodes (107, 109). The central nodes (107, 109) broadcast information of uplink channel characteristics received in the request messages and the remote nodes (101-105) use this to determine whether to abandon or continue the resource request. Eventually, the remote node may decide to use the resource and thus to transmit in the associated data time slot. A distributed multi-cell resource allocation can be achieved based on distributed decisions in the remote stations.
