Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication is currently the only medium and long-range underwater wireless data transmission technology. The inherent physical characteristics of UWA channels
such as narrow bandwidth
high delay extension
harsh multipath
high dynamism
and loud noise
make UWA channels one of the complex channels. The key technologies of the physical layer in UWA communication include channel modeling
modulation techniques
channel estimation
and channel equalization. With the development of the data-driven approach
data-driven enhanced deep learning algorithms have achieved excellent results in UWA scenarios. An overview of the research progress in key technologies of the physical layer for UWA communication was provided. The data-driven receiver methods were summarized. Finally
the main domestic and foreign research directions of underwater acoustic communication were concluded
and the prospects of UWA communication technology were discussed.
