Recently the main research direction of underwater acousticcommunication includes high-speed underwater acousticcommunication at near distance and low-speed acousticcommunication at remote distance [1ndash3] High-speed acous-tic communication adopts coherent communication tech-nique and multicarrier modulation OFDM is a kind of mul-ticarrier modulation technique with high spectral efficiency[4ndash6] and it is widely used in the limited bandwidth under-water acoustic communication However OFDM has thedefect of high PAPR which will restrict the linear dynamicrange of transmitterrsquos power amplifier and generate clippingdistortion which in turn influences the BER performance ofthe whole system It will also reduce the accuracy of AD andDA convertor and even break the subcarrierrsquos orthogonalityin OFDM system [7]

International and domestic research on reducing PAPRmainly divides into following several classes [8ndash14] coding

technique probability technique and signal predistortiontechnique The advantage of coding technique is with nosignal distortion while its defect is the high computationcost and the complexity of coding and decoding opera-tion so coding technique is better for the situation thatthe subcarriers are less Probability technique can reducePAPR effectively but the computation cost is high and willincrease with the growth of the subcarrier number Signalpredisposition technique can reduce PAPR effectively anddirectly and the computation cost will not increase with thegrowth of the number of subcarriers but it has serious in-band interference and out-band noise Reference [4] providesa method to reduce PAPR with no sideband information butthe computation cost is high It is necessary to reduce thecomplexity of the reducing PAPR arithmetic because of theunderwater acoustic channelrsquos characters [15 16] Above allthe techniques signal predisposition techniquersquos advantage isthe simpleness of arithmetic and the computation cost willnot increase with the growth of subcarriers [17] therefore

22 Companding Transformation Decreases the PAPR ofOFDM Companding transformation technique belongs toamplitude limiting technique whose core idea is to processthe signal which has a higher peak power nonlinearly sothat the power will not run out of the dynamic rangeof the amplifier and avoid the large PAPR [19 20] Thetechniquersquos advantage is simple and its complexity will notincreasewith the amount of carrier in addition it can processinverse transformation at the receiving terminal which ismore suitable for underwater acousticrsquos complex and limitedbandwidth channel

222 Improved Companding Arithmetic The parameters oftraditional radio communication companding function uti-lize the peak value of signal However the heavy multipathfading of the underwater acoustic channel which is influ-enced by the burst noise coming frommarine organisms andships leads to the unreliability of the peak value detectionat the receiving terminal therefore the traditional parameterselecting method is not suitable anymore

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount

It also compared the proposed method with Selection Map-ping Technique (SLM) and Partial Transmission Sequence(PTS) The two PTS (Partial Transmission Sequence) curveson behalf of two block partition ways are as follows PTS1represents the adjacent partition and interlacing partitionstyle is showed by PTS2 In general the random partitionwayrsquos capability of reducing PAPR is among the above twodivision methods therefore take the above two PTS partitionmethods for example Contrast with SLM and PTS reducingPAPR method the performance of the proposed methodis close to SLM better than PTS2 But as we know bothSLM and PTS algorithms need to transmit side informationwasting the channel resources which is precious in under-water acoustic communication The different reducing PAPRperformance in two PTS methods mainly because of the

sources which transmitted in the system is with high PAPRand has not been fully interleaved

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount

Figure 8 Impulses response of tank channel

the power amplifier transmitted by a transducer passing theunderwater acoustic channel received by the hydrophoneThe signal is collected and stored by a computer for distantprocessing

Figure 8 is the channel impulses response of the watertank that reflects the experimental channel environment

Figure 9 represents the demodulation result of a differentmethod to decrease PAPR inOFDMexperimentThe averagestatistics BER of clipping arithmetic C transformation SLMalgorithm and the improved arithmetic are respectively88 times 10

minus3 75 times 10minus3 94 times 10minus4 and 89 times 10minus4 The resultshows that the improved arithmetic can decrease PAPR withBER decreasing The experiment proved that the improvedarithmetic is in accordance with the simulation result

4 Conclusion

At present the technique to decrease PAPR is at the cost ofincreasing power increasing BER decreasing the data rate

and adding computational complexity In practical we needto choose a suitable method according to each influencefactor of anOFDM system In an underwater acoustic OFDMsystem the transmitting of data is in severe surroundingsTheband-width is limited in the acoustic channel so it enlargesthe influence of delay spread and frequency selective fadingcompared to wireless channels This requires the methodwhich decreases the PAPR to be of low complexity and tokeep the signal recovered exactly with less influence in themeantime The paper takes advantage of amplitude limitingarithmetic and C transformation combining them to applyunderwater acoustic OFDM communication system Afterthe simulation comparison of amplitude limiting arithmeticC transformation and improved arithmetic we get the resultthat the improved arithmetic can both decrease PAPR andimprove the performance of the system with the advantageof low computation complexity and being easy to realizeThecomputation complexitywill not be influenced by the amount
