Their waves interfere with desired waves and induce strong multipath interference. Use of a guard interval (GI) is effective for channel compensation inOFDM.However, a GI tends to be long in shallow-water environment because a guard time is determined by a delay time ofmultipath. A long GI produces a very longOFDMframe in several seconds, which is disadvantageous to a response speed of communication. This paper presents a method of keeping good communication performance even for a short GI. We discuss influence of intercarrier interference (ICI) in OFDM demodulation and propose a method of data selective rake reception (DSRake).The effectiveness of the proposed method is discussed by received signal distribution and confirmed by simulation results.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {Data Selective Rake Reception for Underwater Acoustic Communication in Strong Multipath Interference}, volume = {2017}, year = {2017} }
