Cloud-based Software-defined Acoustic for Cross-domain Communication System
-
摘要: 典型海洋监测类应用需要将从水下获取的数据回传至陆地监测中心, 由于水声通信性能的制约, 跨水-空界面的数据传输性能难以进一步提升。本文提出了一种基于云端软件定义水声(cloud-based software-defined acoustic, C-SDA)跨域通信系统架构。C-SDA将水声接收机从水面中继节点移动到云端(即监测中心), 并利用无线电通信带宽交换云端计算资源进行水声信号解调和解码。中继网关的水声-无线电双栈网络协议被简化为单栈结构, 避免了数据包的封装和再封装, 节省了硬件成本。C-SDA不仅能实现先进的通信信号处理, 而且能促进水声通信技术的更新和迭代。现场测试实验结果表明, 与自研的嵌入式水声接收机相比, 本文提出的C-SDA能够适用更高性能的均衡器, 并获得显著的误码率改善。Abstract: Typical marine monitoring applications need to transmit the data obtained from underwater to the monitoring center located on land. Due to the restriction of acoustic communication performance, the performance of data transmission across the water-air interface is difficult to further improve. In this paper, a cloud-based software-defined acoustic (C-SDA) architecture is proposed for the cross-interface system. C-SDA moves the underwater acoustic receiver from the surface relay to the cloud (i.e., the monitoring center), and uses the radio communication bandwidth to exchange the computing resources of cloud to demodulate and decode the acoustic signal. In this case, the dual-stack protocol of the surface gateway is simplified to a single-stack, which avoids packet capsulation and re-capsulation. The C-SDA not only enables advanced communication signal processing, but also promotes rapid technology update and iteration. The field-test experimental results show that, the proposed C-SDA can be applied to a higher performance equalizer and achieve a significant improvement in bit error rate, compared with the existing embedded underwater acoustic receiver.
