INTRODUCTION
❑ wireless communication technology today has become part of
our daily life, the idea of wireless underwater
communications may still seem far-fetched

❑ Although cabled submersible systems remain indispensable

but if high-speed communication link is to exists

❑ wireless underwater communications with sensor technology

and vehicular technology
Communication channel
❑ The signals that are used to carry digital information
through an underwater channel are acoustic signals

❑ An underwater acoustic channel presents a

communication system designer with many difficulties

❑ The signal is subject to multipath propagation, which

is particularly pronounced on horizontal channels
 Wave propagation
❑ The figures show multipath
propagation in water

tx rx
❑ In shallow water, multipath
occurs due to signal reflection
from the surface and bottom
c distance

❑ In deep water, it occurs due to tx

ray bending

 Adaptive decision-feedback equalizer (DFE)

 Equalizer task is to unravel the inter symbol interference
Underwater networks

 Integrated networks of
instruments, sensors, robots
and vehicles will operate
together in a variety of
underwater environments
 Depending on the
application there two types
of Acoustic network
“Acoustic networks, navigation and sensing
for multiple autonomous underwater robotic
vehicles
 Centralized network, nodes
communicate through a base
station that covers one cell
 In a decentralized network, nodes
communicate via peer-to-peer
Centralized network topology
 To accommodate multiple users
within a selected network
topology, the communication
channel must be shared
 Methods for channel sharing are
based on scheduling or on  Decentralized network
contention topology
 Current achievements
➢ The modem has successfully
been deployed in a
number of trials
➢ This modem is implemented
in a fixed-point DSP with a
floating-point co-processor
➢ Multi-user communications
each at 1.4 kbps in 5 kHz
band
 Autonomous underwater
vehicle (AUV) is a robot that
travels underwater
 Modem’s fit easily into the
AUV Autonomous underwater vehicle
 Low power consumption (AUV)

 Very reliable for high level

Applications
 Environmental monitoring to gathering of
oceanographic data

 Marine archaeology

 Search and rescue missions

 Defence
Conclusion
 The aim of this is to build a
acoustic communication as in
figure

 This is not only the way for

underwater communication

 By using optical waves which

offers higher throughput
(Mbps) over short distances
(up to about 100 m)
