Abstract

Abstract : An underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system is considered. For such system, a zero‐padding (ZP) block‐transmission scheme is presented to reduce the influence of inter‐symbol‐interference. Simulation results, which are based on the existing experimental data of channel pulse response, show that ZP system is effective especially for serious dispersive channel with high data rates and thus, potentially applicable to the high data rate UOWC systems.
