INTRODUCTION
Underwater wireless communication is the wireless communication in which acoustic signals (waves) carry digital information through an underwater channel. Electromagnetic waves are not used as they propogate over short distances. Over the past decades, heavy cables were used to establish a high speed communication between remote end and the surface. To overcome such difficulties, underwater wireless communication has come into existence.
ACOUSTIC MODEM
Employ advanced modulation scheme and channel equalization for improved signal to noise ratio. Employ high performance error detection and correction coding scheme which reduces bit error rate to less than 107
Parts of an acoustic modem: DSP Board AFE(Analog Front End) Board DC/DC Converter
UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC SENSOR NETWORKS (UW-ASN) Group of sensors and vehicles deployed underwater and networked via acoustic links, performing collaborative tasks. Equipment
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) Underwater sensors (UW-ASN)
3-D ARCHITECTURE
APPLICATIONS
Seismic monitoring. Pollution monitoring Ocean currents monitoring Equipment monitoring and control Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) Remotely operated vehicle(ROV) Acoustic navigation technology for multiple AUVs. Solar Powered AUVs
LIMITATIONS
Battery power is limited and usually batteries can not be recharged easily. The available bandwidth is severely limited. Underwater sensors are prone to failures because of fouling, corrosion, etc. Highly affected by environmental and natural factors such as heterogeneities of the water column, variations of sound velocity versus depth, temperature and salinity, multiple and random sea reflections and significant scattering by fish, bubble clouds and plankton.
CONCLUSION
Despite much development in this area of the underwater wireless communication, there is still an immense scope so more research as major part of the ocean bottom yet remains unexploded. The main objective is to overcome the present limitations and implement advanced technology for oceanographic research and cope up with the environmental effects on the noise performance of acoustic systems to compete with the future challenges like effective transmission of audio and video signals etc.
