Underwater Communications and Networking

Recent Advances in Underwater Acoustic Communications & Networking

The past three decades have seen a growing interest in underwater acoustic communications. Continued research over the years has resulted in improved performance and robustness as compared to the initial communication systems. Research has expanded from point-to-point communications to include underwater networks as well. A series of review papers provide an excellent history of the development...

Underwater Acoustic Communications and Networking: Recent Advances and Future Challenges

protocols for such networks. In this paper, we do not attempt to provide an exhaustive survey of all research in the field, but instead concentrate on ideas and developments that are likely to be the keystone of future underwater communication networks. II. Underwater Communications High-speed communication in the underwater acoustic channel has been challenging because of limited bandwidth, ex...

Underwater Optical Wireless Communications, Networking, and Localization: A Survey

Underwater wireless communications can be carried out through acoustic, radio frequency (RF), and optical waves. Compared to its bandwidth limited acoustic and RF counterparts, underwater optical wireless communications (UOWCs) can support higher data rates at low latency levels. However, severe aquatic channel conditions (e.g., absorption, scattering, turbulence, etc.) pose great challenges fo...

Cloud networking and communications

Cloud computing is having an important impact on communication networks, both fixed and mobile, stimulating intensive research and standardization of new network architectures, protocols and resource management mechanisms. In the literature, significant attention has been devoted to system aspects of Cloud computing. More recently, however, the focus is shifting towards Cloud networking and com...
