In this work, we focus on the model-mismatch problem for model-based subspace channel tracking in the correlated underwater acoustic channel. A model based on the underwater acoustic channels correlation can be used as the state-space model in the Kalman filter to improve the underwater acoustic channel tracking compared that without a model. Even though the data support the assumption that the model is slow-varying and uncorrelated to some degree, to improve the tracking performance further, we can not ignore the model-mismatch problem because most channel models encounter this problem in the underwater acoustic channel. Therefore, in this work, we provide a dynamic time-variant state-space model for underwater acoustic channel tracking. This model is tolerant to the slight correlation after decorrelation. Moreover, a forward-backward Kalman filter is combined to further improve the tracking performance. The performance of our proposed algorithm is demonstrated with the same at-sea data as that used for conventional channel tracking. Compared with the conventional algorithms, the proposed algorithm shows significant improvement, especially in rough sea conditions in which the channels are fast-varying.

A novel intercarrier interference (ICI)-aware orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) channel estimation network ICINet is presented for rapidly time-varying channels. ICINet consists of two components: a preprocessing deep neural subnetwor k (PreDNN) and a cascaded residual learning-based neural subnetwork (CasResNet). By fully taking into account the impact of ICI, the proposed PreDNN first refines the initial channel estimates in a subcarrier-wise fashion. In addition, the CasResNet is designed to further enhance the estimation accuracy. The proposed cascaded network is compatible with any pilot patterns and robust against mismatched system configurations. Simulation results verify the superiority of ICINet over existing networks in terms of better performance and much less complexity.
Full-duplex (FD) communication is a promising candidate to address the data rate limitations in underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. Because of transmission at the same time and on the same frequency band, the signal from the local transmitter creates self-interference (SI) that contaminates the signal from the remote transmitter. At the local receiver, channel state information for both the SI and remote channels is required to remove the SI and equalize the SI-free signal, respectively. However, because of the rapid time-variations of the UWA environment, real-time tracking of the channels is necessary. In this paper, we propose a receiver for UWA-FD communication in which the variations of the SI and remote channels are jointly tracked by using a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm fed by feedback from the previously detected data symbols. Because of the joint channel estimation, SI cancellation is more successful compared to UWA-FD receivers with separate channel estimators. In addition, due to providing a real-time channel tracking without the need for frequent training sequences, the bandwidth efficiency is preserved in the proposed receiver.
Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication plays a key role in the process of exploring and studying the ocean. In this paper, a modified non-stationary wideband channel model for UWA communication in shallow water scenarios is proposed. In this geometr y-based stochastic model (GBSM), multiple motion effects, time-varying angles, distances, clusters locations with the channel geometry, and the ultra-wideband property are considered, which makes the proposed model more realistic and capable of supporting long time/distance simulations. Some key statistical properties are investigated, including temporal autocorrelation function (ACF), power delay profile (PDP), average delay, and root mean square (RMS) delay spread. The impacts of multiple motion factors on temporal ACFs are analyzed. Simulation results show that the proposed model can mimic the non-stationarity of UWA channels. Finally, the proposed model is validated with measurement data.
We propose a learning-based scheme to investigate the dynamic multi-channel access (DMCA) problem in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond networks with fast time-varying channels wherein the channel parameters are unknown. The proposed learning-based scheme can maintain near-optimal performance for a long time, even in the sharp changing channels. This scheme greatly reduces processing delay, and effectively alleviates the error due to decision lag, which is cased by the non-immediacy of the information acquisition and processing. We first propose a psychology-based personalized quality of service model after introducing the network model with unknown channel parameters and the streaming model. Then, two access criteria are presented for the living streaming model and the buffered streaming model. Their corresponding optimization problems are also formulated. The optimization problems are solved by learning-based DMCA scheme, which combines the recurrent neural network with deep reinforcement learning. In the learning-based DMCA scheme, the agent mainly invokes the proposed prediction-based deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm as the learning algorithm. As a novel technical paradigm, our scheme has strong universality, since it can be easily extended to solve other problems in wireless communications. The real channel data-based simulation results validate that the performance of the learning-based scheme approaches that derived from the exhaustive search when making a decision at each time-slot, and is superior to the exhaustive search method when making a decision at every few time-slots.
With the deep integration between the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and wireless communication, UAV-based air-to-ground (AG) propagation channels need more detailed descriptions and accurate models. In this paper, we aim to perform cluster-based char acterization and modeling for AG channels. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that concentrates on the clustering and tracking of multipath components (MPCs) for time-varying AG channels. Based on measurement data at 6.5 GHz with 500 MHz of bandwidth, we first estimate potential MPCs utilizing the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm. Then, we cluster the extracted MPCs considering their static and dynamic characteristics by employing K-Power-Means (KPM) algorithm under multipath component distance (MCD) measure. For characterizing time-variant clusters, we exploit a clustering-based tracking (CBT) method, which efficiently quantifies the survival lengths of clusters. Ultimately, we establish a cluster-based channel model, and validations illustrate the accuracy of the proposed model. This work not only promotes a better understanding of AG propagation channels but also provides a general cluster-based AG channel model with certain extensibility.
