Abstract

The application of deep learning (DL) techniques to optimize signal constellations in communications using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has shown potential. This novel approach utilizes network capabilities to create tailored signal constellations well suited for underwater conditions. The main objectives of this research are to enhance the effectiveness and dependability of data transmission in channels by adapting these signal constellations without adopting cyclic prefix, which can exploit the inherent bandwidth limitation effectively. The most prominent finding from this research is that even with zero cyclic prefix (CP) and a few pilot samples Np, inserted ahead of N subcarriers, the proposed signal constellation algorithm based on supervised DL attains a stable profile. Thus, it offers more bandwidth and reduces the complexity. The hegemony was depicted in the performance of the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed DL-based signal constellation prediction algorithm, which achieved 100% accuracy and a gain of 10dB and 12dB over minimum mean square error (MMSE) and least square (LS) channel estimation performance, respectively, when CP=0 at N_p=N/4. Ultimately, this work contributes to increasing the performance of communication systems for applications such as exploration, monitoring, and data collection.
