The underwater acoustic communication (UAC) operating in very shallow-water should ensure reliable transmission in conditions of strong multipath propagation, significantly disturbing the received signal. One of the techniques to achieve this goal is the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique, which consists in binary phase shift keying (BPSK) according to a pseudo-random spreading sequence. This paper describes the DSSS data transmission tests in the simulation and experimental environment, using different types of pseudo-noise sequences: m-sequences and Kasami codes of the order 6 and 8. The transmitted signals are of different bandwidth and the detection at the receiver side was performed using two detection methods: non-differential and differential. The performed experiments allowed to draw important conclusions for the designing of a physical layer of the shallow-water UAC system. Both, m-sequences and Kasami codes allow to achieve a similar bit error rate, which at best was less than 10−3. At the same time, the 6th order sequences are not long enough to achieve an acceptable BER under strong multipath conditions. In the case of transmission of wideband signals the differential detection algorithm allows to achieve a significantly better BER (less than 10−2) than nondifferential one (BER not less than 10−1). In the case of narrowband signals the simulation tests have shown that the non-differential algorithm gives a better BER, but experimental tests under conditions of strong multipath propagation did not confirm it. The differential algorithm allowed to achieve a BER less than 10−2 in experimental tests, while the second algorithm allowed to obtain, at best, a BER less than 10−1. In addition, two indicators have been proposed for a rough assessment which of the detection algorithms under current propagation conditions in the channel will allow to obtain a better BER.

Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) is one of the modulation and coding techniques used in Underwater Acoustic Communication (UAC) systems for reliable data transmision even at low signal levels. However, in a shallow water channel, there is a strong multipath propagation which causes a phase fluctuation of the received signal, affecting the performance of the spread-spectrum system. The article presents a differential method for DSSS signal detection. It is based on the calculation of the correlation coefficient of adjacent segments of signal at the output of filter matched to the spreading sequence used in the transmitter. A positive value of the correlation coefficient means that a given modulation symbol carries the same information bit as the previous one; a negative value means that the opposite bit has been transmitted. The reliability of the proposed method has been compared to classical method of DSSS signal detection, which consists in detecting the information directly from the signal at the output of the matched filter. Simulation and measurement tests of underwater acoustic communications in strong multipath propagation conditions have shown that the proposed method allows obtaining lower values of the DSSS transmission Bit Error Rate (BER) than the classical detection technique while maintaining the same data transmission rate.

Underwater acoustic communication (UAC) system designers tend to transmit as much information as possible, per unit of time, at as low as possible error rate. It is a particularly difficult task in a shallow underwater channel in which the signal suffers from strong time dispersion due to multipath propagation and refraction phenomena. The direct-sequence spread spectrum technique (DSSS) applied successfully in the latest standards of wireless communications, gives the chance of reliable data transmission with an acceptable error rate in a shallow underwater channel. It utilizes pseudo-random sequences to modulate data signals, and thus increases the transmitted signal resilience against the inter symbol interference (ISI) caused by multipath propagation. This paper presents the results of simulation tests of DSSS data transmission with the use of different UAC channel models using binary spreading sequences.

The performance analysis of DS/SS system in single-tone interference is usually presented for AWGN channel. While, there usually exists fading over the actual wireless channels. Using the well-known MGF-based analysis approach, the exact symbol error rate of DS/SS system in single-tone interference over flat fading channel is derived in this paper, and the application conditions of two familiar performance analysis methods — standard Gaussian approximation and improved Gaussian approximation for DS/SS system in single-tone interference are discussed.
