Abstract
Abstract This paper studies and investigates the performance of Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) for underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC). Various scatterings may result in inter-symbol interference (ISI) and degrade system error performance in UWOC links. Bit-error rate (BER) is evaluated using different water environment models such as clear seawater, coastal, and harbor for a 20 m link range. Simulation results indicate the BER performance is degraded due to the temporal dispersion of impulse response for high data rates in turbid water. In addition, the bandwidth-symbol time product (BT) is an essential parameter in GMSK, affecting BER performance and power efficiency. Therefore, BT must be chosen with a value that balances BER and power efficiency. The results show that GMSK with BT = 0.5 is a good choice that satisfies BER = 10−5 for SNR = 10 dB with an efficient power spectrum due to constant envelope and low out-of-band radiation.
