Fast underwater acoustic data link design via multicarrier modulation and higher-order statistics equalization

There is a global need to develop reliable wireless digital communications; for the underwater environment, with sufficient performance and efficiency to substitute for costly wired systems. Scientific research conducted in the oceans and coastal areas could benefit through the reduction of cost for acquisition and downloading of data from remote monitoring sites. Undersea robotics could benefit through improvement of the communications features of manned and unmanned underwater vehicles for control and for near real-time conveyance of data and images.
