Wang, Yujie (author), Zhang, Qunfei (author), Ma, Shengqian (author), Zhang, Lingling (author), Han, Jing (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)Differential orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is attractive for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications because it can eliminate channel estimation, resulting in a substantial reduction of complexity at the receiver. However, when the channel is time-varying, it may suffer from serious inter-vector interference (IVI), which is...conference paper 2023
