Adaptive Coding and Bit-Power Loading Algorithms for Underwater Acoustic Transmissions

Underwater acoustic channel (UAC) is featured as fast time-varying characteristic, and challenges the transmission designs. To countermine the time variation effect, we propose an adaptive design for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission systems by utilizing the long-term stability of the second-order statistics of the channel state information (CSI). We derive the analyti...
