A Comparative Study of SC and MC Underwater Acoustic Communication Systems

In this study, comparative performance analyzes of single carrier (SC) and multi carrier (MC) underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) schemes are performed in underwater acoustic channel environments. Computer simulation studies are carried out to compare SC and MC UWAC communication systems in multi-path underwater acoustic channel environments based on bit error rate (BER) and mean square error (MSE) accomplishment benchmarks. From the acquired outcomes, it is perceived that the MC-UWAC communication scheme has approximately 3 dB better achievement than the SC-UWAC communication scheme.
