In this paper we examinethe Bit Error Rate (BER)attainment of multiple-input multiple-output of Underwater Wireless Optical Communication system (MIMO-UWOC). By us...

Underwater acoustic communications (UAC) feature frequency-dependent signal attenuation, long propagation delay and doubly-selective fading. Thus the design of reliable UAC protocols is challenging. On the other hand, cooperative relay communications, which have been extensively studied in terrestrial environments, are promising paradigms for reliable communications. However, their application ...

The Underwater Swarm is a particular Underwater Network configuration characterized by nodes very close one to each other, with mobility capability. The structure of the network is that of a distributed network, in which the nodes, through the exchange of control information, will take decisions in collaborative manner. This type of network raises challenges for its effective design and develop...

Delay tolerance is a major design concern for supporting underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UA-WSNs) to carry out tasks in harsh subsea environments. Due to the great difference between the underwater acoustic channel and the radio frequency channel, most of the existing routing protocols developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks perform poorly in underwater acoustic communi...

The advancement of acoustic modem technology in providing better data rates and more reliable underwater wireless communications has motivated many researchers to create various algorithms to support such technology in a better way. These continuing researches have greatly improved the underwater communication performance in the last two decades. However issues such as inefficient horizontal co...

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) can be used in ocean exploration and lake pollution monitoring. They use acoustic media to achieve sensor communications. UWSNs are essentially different from terrestrial RF-based sensor networks due to its highly variable, long propagation delay, and mobility nature. In this paper, we first describe our experimental design of low-cost underwater sens...

Field experiments using Time-Reversal Mirror(TRM) techniques have shown that the underwater acoustic channel presents a longer stability than it was previously anticipated. Applying such techniques to underwater communications requires that, either the emitted signals are previously filtered by time-reversed replicas of the channel impulse response or that a probe-signal should be transmitted a...

The paper addresses the problem of making a set of vehicles follow a a set of given spatial paths at required speeds, while ensuring that they reach and maintain a desired formation pattern. Problems of this kind arise in a number of practical applications involving ground and underwater robots. The paper summarizes and brings together in a unified framework previous results obtained by the aut...
