Performance Analysis of Error Control Codes for Underwater Wireless Acoustic Communication

Abstract

In underwater acoustic communication, the information transmitted from 1 sensor node to another is corrupted due to errors persuaded by the noisy channel and other issues. To reduce the bit error rate, it is essential to propose suitable error regulator structure. In this paper, we simulate the performance analysis of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Interleaver Division Multiple Access Multiple Input Multiple Output scheme with different channel codes to improve bit error rate performance. Bit error rate and consumed power are measured by communicating arbitrarily generated information through AWGN network. From the simulation results and assessment of the 2 divergent channel coding, 2 interleavers and 3 modulation techniques. We conclude that turbo codes with random interleaver and binary phase shift keying are best suitable to improve reliability performance for underwater wireless acoustic communication. To reduce the burst error in underwater acostic communication we propose an hybrid approach IDMA OFDM MIMO. BER performance is improved upto 10−6.
