Abstract

Smartphone ownership has increased rapidly over the past decade, and the smartphone has become a popular technological product in modern life. The universal wireless communication scheme on smartphones leverages electromagnetic wave transmission, where the spectrum resource becomes scarce in some scenarios. As a supplement to some face-to-face transmission scenarios, we design an aerial ultrasonic communication scheme. The scheme uses chirp-like signal and BPSK modulation, convolutional code encoding with ID-classified interleaving, and pilot method to estimate room impulse response. Through experiments, the error rate of the ultrasonic communication system designed for mobile phones can be within 0.001 % in 1 m range. The limitations of this scheme and further research work are discussed as well.
