Abstract

High data rate communication is challenging in underwater acoustic (UA) communication as UA channels vary fast along with the environmental factors. A real-time Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based adaptive UA communication system is studied in this research employing the National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW software and NI CompactDAQ device. The developed adaptive modulation schemes enhance the reliability of communication, guarantee continuous connectivity, ensure maximum performance under a fixed BER at all times and boost data rate.
