Abstract
Orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) is a recently proposed multiplexing scheme and has drawn increasing attention in underwater communications. In an OCDM system, a series of orthogonal chirp signals carry the data information. However, the time variation feature of underwater acoustic (UWA) channels is rarely considered in the existing OCDM systems. In this paper, a particular transmission structure is proposed for the OCDM system to process the signal block-by-block at the receiver. Moreover, a low complexity channel estimation algorithm and the corresponding equalizers are derived. The proposed structure has a better ability to track time-varying channels. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves promising performance under time-varying channels.
