However, the shallow water surroundings and the mobility of AUVs cause severe multipath propagation and Doppler effect, resulting in sound signal distortion in the delay and Doppler domains when sound waves reach the submarine optical cable. In this paper, we propose an underwater acoustic equalization method based on channel shortening to mitigate these issues. We use frequency-domain decision feedback equalization (FD-DFE) for channel shortening to suppress multipaths and lower the Doppler spread of the channel, followed by time-domain decision feedback equalization based on recursive least square (RLS-DFE) to eliminate residual delay and Doppler spreads. This dual decision feedback equalization (DDFE) approach combines block- and symbol-wise equalization and demonstrates robustness through numerical simulations. In the reservoir experiment, the DDFE method increased the output signal-to-noise ratio by an average 4.5 dB compared to the traditional method for medium-rate communications at 3 kbps, and reduced the bit error rate by 60%.","PeriodicalId":191968,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127227816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, cross-modal semantic fusion is designed to enable end-to-end data transmission, driven by various task requirements of multi-modal business users. In addition, the proposed approach for evaluation on the semantic similarity is highly effective. It consists of a siamese network and a pseudo-siamese network, which can accurately obtain the matching loss between modal contents.

For the demand of quantum keys for multiple concurrent requests between GS pairs, we formulate a multi-objective optimization routing (MOOR) problem to allocate the quantum key and time-slot resources to find routes for simultaneous services. The proposed optimization scheme maximizes the number of successful requests while minimizing the routing cost. Specifically, we consider that the fewer available quantum keys on the link, the greater the cost of occupying the link. Then we use the reciprocal of the number of available keys on links to represent link costs, and find the route with the minimum link costs. Simulation results show that the success probability of MOOR scheme is higher than that of the comparison routing strategy based on Dijkstra algorithm, especially when the number of keys forwarded by a request is not too large, the improvement is significant.","PeriodicalId":191968,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115056958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional performance modeling for satellite networks based on a grid of circular orbit geometries does not apply to large-scale LEO satellite communication networks, limiting analytical insights. To address this issue, this paper proposes a tractable theoretical framework for an LEO satellite-aided shore-to-ship communication network (LEO-SSCN) that models the distribution of LEO satellites as a binomial point process (BPP) uniformly distributed around the Earth. The framework aims to obtain the end-to-end signal transmission performance by considering signal transmissions from the network service center to the destination ship via either a marine link or a space link, which is subject to Rician or Shadowed Rician fading, respectively. Since the distance from the serving satellite to the destination ship is intractable, we first propose a distance approximation approach. Then, based on the approximation, we employ stochastic geometry to derive the analytical expressions of the end-to-end transmission success probability as a function of the Laplace transform from interfering satellites’ power. Numerical results verify the accuracy of our analysis. This framework paves the way for more reliable integration of the LEO satellites and the existing maritime communication network.","PeriodicalId":191968,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122701562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the performance improvement is at the cost of high complexity, which leads to high decoding latency. In this paper, we propose a dynamically configurable decoding architecture with inter-frame pipelining and integrate the SCL decoding algorithm, SC decoding algorithm, and fast successive cancellation (FSC) decoding algorithm, which can reduce the complexity significantly.
