ARCHITECTURE
Communication coverage:
Since in 3D underwater
networks there is no notion of
uw-sink, sensors should be able
to relay information to the
surface station via multichip
paths
3-D Architecture
Sensor
nodes float at
different depths in order to
observe a given
phenomenon.
The possible solution to
achieve different depths
would be to attach each
UW-sensor node to a
surface buoy, by means of
wires
Multiple floating buoys
may obstruct ships
navigating on the surface
BASICS OF ACOUSTIC
UNDERWATER COMMUNICATION
Acoustic
waves enable communications over longdistance since they suffer from relatively low absorption.
Underwater Acoustic communications are also affected
by high path loss, noise, multipath, high and variable
propagation delay and Doppler spread
Depending on their range, underwater acoustic
communication links can be classifieds very long, long,
medium, short and very short
