    This document discusses underwater communication and its importance. It describes the traditional approach of ocean bottom monitoring using sensors with disadvantages like lack of real-time monitoring. Modern underwater networks use acoustic transmission due to water's properties. Challenges include limited bandwidth and battery power. Technologies discussed include vector sensors, 3D network architectures, and SONAR (including active and passive types). Applications mentioned are naval defense, ocean exploration, disaster monitoring, and autonomous vehicle control.

    Introduction
    Underwater communication is a
    technique of sending and receiving message below water

    Typical frequency: 1 Hz to 1 MHz Hydroacoustics

    Why using sound as communication medium in UW-ASN?

    Radio waves Optical waves Acoustic transmission is better suited to


    water than air
    Speed of sound in water ~ 1500m/sec Speed of sound in air ~ 340m/sec

    Why is Underwater Communication Important?

    Naval defence (submarines) Ocean exploration Understanding natural disasters (tsunami)

    Traditional approach for ocean-bottom monitoring


    Uses sensors to record data Disadvantages: Real time monitoring is not possible. No interaction b/w onshore control systems and the monitoring instruments. failures or misconfigurations may occur Limited storage capacity
    7

    Underwater Networks

    Difficult to Communicate because of:

    Complex multi-path propagation Small bandwidth and strong attenuation Low data rates compared to terrestrial communication
    8

    Technology In Use

    Hydrophone

    Hydrophone: Converts acoustic waves into electrical energy, Cannot measure multiple scalar quantities, and has Single Input Single Output.
    9

    What is Vector Sensor?

    Measures Pressure + Y & Z Components of Velocity Single Input Multiple Output More Efficient and Compact Size Therefore Vector Sensor is much more better than
    other receivers
    10

    UW-ASN 3D Architecture for ocean bottom monitoring

    11

    Challenges
    Battery Power is limited Limited available bandwidth Channel characteristics UW sensors are prone to failures because of
    fouling, corrosion, etc

    Mobility The ocean can be as deep as 10 km


    12

    SONAR
    SOund Navigation And Ranging Two types of technology:

    Active SONAR Passive SONAR

    13

    Active SONAR
    Active sonar uses a sound transmitter and a receiver Principle:
    creates ping listens echo

    14

    Passive SONAR
    Passive sonar listens without transmitting. Noise limitations

    Dipping sonar deployed from a Ship


    15

    Applications of Underwater Communication


    Seismic monitoring. Pollution monitoring Ocean currents monitoring Equipment monitoring and control Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV)
