The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this paper, low-complexity Doppler-shift compensation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) suitable for underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) is proposed. This algorithm exploits the integer part and the fractional part of the time expansion/compression measured within a fraction of a sample period in each OFDM to jointly estimate the Doppler-shift and the residual carrier frequency offset (CFO). Unlike block-Doppler compensation, the proposed scheme increases the throughput by utilizing single chirp pulse as a preamble. In addition, the Doppler-shift variation within the OFDM symbol is dealt with by adopting a smoothing filter. The proposed scheme was investigated in an experiment, evaluating the system performance over a range of 1 km in the North Sea during the summer of 2009.
