Deep Learning Based Multi-Step Channel Prediction for Adaptive Underwater Acoustic OFDM Systems
We develop an adaptive OFDM framework for underwater acoustic communications based on PatchCSI-T, a Transformer-based multistep channel prediction model with feature-independent modeling and parameter sharing. Combined with a greedy adaptive modulation and power allocation scheme, the proposed approach enables accurate, low-latency CSI forecasting and improves end-to-end BER and spectral efficiency on real-world UWA channel datasets.
