Single‐carrier underwater acoustic communication combined with channel shortening and dichotomous coordinate descent recursive least squares with variable forgetting factor

In this study, the authors propose a novel decision feedback equaliser (DFE)-based receiver, which combines channel shortening methods and dichotomous coordinate descent (DCD) recursive least squares (RLS) adaptive algorithm with variable forgetting factor (VFF). The proposed receiver can obtain its performance gain via two aspects: (i) reducing the computing complexity by channel shortening method, such as passive time reversal (pTR) filter or...
