Modeling Underwater Acoustic Channels in Short-range Shallow Water Environments

Abstract: We analyze the statistical channel properties of short to very shortrange shallow water communication environments based on real channel measurements taken in a water-tank, a swimming pool, very shallow and shallow lakes. More specifically, we estimate the channel impulse response (CIR), the probability density function (PDF) of channel fading and fit to Rayleigh, Nakagami, Weibull, Rician and Beta distributions. We compare the 'goodness-of-fit' of these distributions based on the Kullback-Leibler (KL) diverge… Show more

“…In deep water, the multi path phenomenon occurs due to ray bending, i.e., the tendency of acoustic waves to travel along the axis of lowest sound speed. Even though, there is no general consensus on an appropriate statistical model for received signal amplitude in underwater acoustic channels, the small-scale fading effects are often modeled as Rayleigh or Rician fading [41][42][43] while some studies suggest K-distribution [44] or Weibull distribution [45]. In [46], Urick proposes Rician model to describe the amplitude fluctuations in ocean environment.…”
