The objective of this paper is to provide a multiuser transmission technique for underwater acoustic communication in the framework of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) fleet. By using a variant of a Hyperbolically Frequency-Modulated (HFM) signal, we describe a new family of transmission techniques called MultiUser Chirp Spread Spectrum (MU-CSS), which allows a very simple matched-filter-based decoding. These techniques are expected to provide good resilience against multiuser interference while keeping good robustness to Underwater Acoustic (UWA) channel impairments like Doppler shift. Their implementation for the UWA scenario is described, and the performance results over a simulated shallow-water UWA channel are analyzed and compared against conventional Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA) transmission. Finally, the feasibility and robustness of the proposed methods are verified over the underWater AcousTic channEl Replay benchMARK (Watermark), fed by several channel responses from sounding experiments performed in a lake.

Optimal codebooks meeting the Welch bound with equality are desirable in many areas, such as direct spread code division multiple access communications, compressed sensing and so on. However, it is difficult to construct such optimal codebooks. There have been a number of attempts to construct codebooks nearly meeting the Welch bound. In this paper, we introduce a generic construction of codebooks using generalized bent functions from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a prime and [Formula: see text] is a positive integer with [Formula: see text]. With this construction, we obtain two new families of codebooks nearly meeting the Welch bound. These codebooks have new parameters and could have a small alphabet size. In particular, a class of regular generalized bent functions from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] is presented.

Due to the complexity and variability of the underwater acoustic channel, the communication signal is affected by multi-path, time delay, and Doppler frequency shift. Based on the advantageous characteristics of fractional Fourier transform on chirp signal processing, a fractional Fourier transform–based algorithm using combined linear frequency–modulated signal is proposed, which can estimate parameters of underwater acoustic channel and has a better performance than the existing methods. To distinguish multi-user in underwater acoustic communication system, a single-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access communication system combined with the fractional Fourier transform–based algorithm is proposed. Thus, a preliminary study on underwater multi-target identification is carried out. The simulation and experimental results show that the fractional Fourier transform–based algorithm is simple and effective, and the energy can be focused at the “best” fractional order, which can directly determine the multi-path number and complete the channel estimation. The proposed single-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access communication system has good performance on bit error rate when we use corresponding spreading code to distinguish multi-user.
