Joint Channel Estimation, Data Decoding, and Group-Sparse Impulsive Noise Estimation for Slowly Time-Varying Single copyright Underwater Acoustic Communications
The Gaussian noise assumption is usually made for slowly time-varying underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) systems, which is entirely adequate for most cases.However, certain human activities such as geophysical surveys, multi-beam echosounders and iceberg PR783 breakup generate impulsive noise.Consequently, the impulsive noise degrades the des
