    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a wireless communication system including: one or more terminal devices that transitions between a first state in which a wireless signal can be intermittently detected and a second state in which a wireless signal can be transmitted and received; and a gateway device that transmits an instruction frame instructing the one or more terminal devices to transition to the second state at a predetermined transmission interval. Each of the one or more terminal devices includes: an instruction frame detector that detects the instruction frame at a detection interval longer than an interval at which the gateway device transmits the instruction frame; a preamble signal detector that detects a preamble signal at a predetermined time interval and a predetermined frequency channel when the instruction frame is detected; and a control unit that causes a subject terminal device to transition from the first state to the second state based on a detection result of one or more preamble signals in one or more frequency channels.
