The invention provides a remote
underwater acoustic communication method based on soft-
demodulation soft-decoding joint iteration. The method comprises the following steps that: a transmitting end performs
low density parity check (LDPC) coding on a
binary information sequence which is sent by a
signal source, performs
quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation and Gray mapping, maps code elements to one of four positions in a
constellation diagram by taking two code elements as a group, performs Walsh-m
composite sequence spectrum spreading to obtain a
signal to be transmitted, and converts a
digital signal to be transmitted into an
underwater acoustic
signal; and an
underwater acoustic
transducer at a receiving end converts the received underwater acoustic signal, de-spreads by using a
composite sequence which is the same as that of the transmitting end to obtain a receiving signal, performs self-
adaptation decision feedback
equalization to obtain an amplitude
fading complex signal, performs soft-
demodulation soft-decoding joint iteration on the signal, stops joint iteration after set iteration frequency is reached, performs
belief propagation (BP) decoding on an LDPC decoder and outputs a bit value to a sink. By the method provided by the invention, the reliability of remote
underwater acoustic communication is improved. The method is applicable to the remote
underwater acoustic communication.
