    摘要: An underwater acoustic communication system includes a transmission device including N transmitters, and a reception device. The reception device includes M (M is an integer of two or more) receivers configured to receive M reception signal sequences corresponding to N transmission signal sequences transmitted from the N transmitters through sound waves, a beam former configured to suppress multipath waves other than direct waves of the M received reception signal sequences and to generate L (L is an integer of two or more) signal sequences from the M reception signal sequences, and a signal estimation unit configured to estimate the N transmission signal sequences based on the L generated signal sequences.

    摘要: A receiving apparatus includes: M receivers configured to receive signals based on sound waves propagating in water; M FIR filters configured to perform waveform operation on the signals received by the receivers; a combiner configured to combine output signals of the M FIR filters; and a filter coefficient calculation portion configured to calculate a tap coefficient of the M FIR filters so as to reduce an error of the output signals combined by the combiner. The M FIR filters have a tap length that is shorter than a delay spread that is a possible range between a time of arrival of a direct wave and a time of arrival of a delayed wave of the sound waves.

    摘要: A monitoring system comprises a monitoring agent that keeps information related to a communication status of a low-power terminal that communicates under low power, and a monitoring device that monitors the status of the low-power terminal. The monitoring device includes a requesting unit that requests information related to the communication status of the low-power terminal. The monitoring agent includes a response generation unit that generates a response to the request from the monitoring device on a basis of the information related to the communication status of the low-power terminal, and a transmission unit that transmits the response to the monitoring device.
