  Abstract

In the underwater communication environment, since the propagation medium is water, multipath occurs due to the medium fluctuation, and the propagation speed changes due to the water temperature or the like, which makes it difficult to estimate the channel. In this paper, deep neural network based channel equalization technique is proposed when QPSK symbols are OFDM modulated and transmitted thorough the underwater channel environment. We modeled the underwater channel in the West Sea using the Bellhop Ray Tracing method. From the computer simulation, when 128 or 64 pilot symbols were allocated in a symbol block which consist of 256 symbols, the proposed scheme performed better than the conventional LS scheme. In a further experiment, the proposed scheme without any pilot symbols is still better than the LS scheme with 64 pilot symbols. As a result, we confirmed that the performance of the proposed deep neural network based channel equalization method is more robust and better than the existing LS scheme in underwater channel environment.
