In underwater acoustic channel, signal transmission may experience significant latency and attenuation that would degrade the\nperformance of underwater communication. The cooperative communication technique can solve it but the spectrum efficiency\nis lower than traditional underwater communication. So we proposed a time reversal aided bidirectional OFDM underwater\ncooperative communication algorithm. The algorithm allows all underwater sensor nodes to share the same uplink and downlink\nfrequency simultaneously to improve the spectrum efficiency. Since the same frequency transmission would produce larger\nintersymbol interference, we adopted the time reversal method to degrade the multipath interference at first; then we utilized\nthe self-information cancelation module to remove the self-signal of OFDM block because it is known for sensor nodes. In the\nsimulation part, we compare our proposed algorithm with the existing underwater cooperative transmission algorithms in respect\nof bit error ratio, transmission rate, and computation.The results show that our proposed algorithmhas double spectrumefficiency\nunder the same bit error ratio and has the higher transmission rate than the other underwater communication methods.
