INTRODUCTION

Under water wireless communication is the wireless in which acoustic signal (wave) carry digital
information through an underwater channel.
The signal that are used to carry digital information through an underwater chanel are acoustic
channel
HISTORY

The science of underwater acoustic began in 1490,


When Leonardo Da Vinci,stated
In 1687 Issac netwon wrote his mathematical principles of natural Philosophy which
includes the first mathematical treatment of sound in water
NECESSITY OF UNDERWATER
WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION

Wired underwater is not feasible in all situaetions as shown below:-

Temporary experiment
Breaking of wires
Significant cost of deployment
Experiment over long distances.
To cope up with above situations, we require underwater wireless communication.
UNDERWATER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Radio waves do not propagate well underwater due to the high energy
Absorpation of water

Therefore ,underwater communication are based on acoustic links characterized by large


propagation delay.

Acoustic channel have low bandwiidth


The signal that are used to carry digital information through an underwater
CONTENT
Channel are acoustic channel .

The propagation speed of acoustic signal in water is typically 1500m/s

It cannot rely on the global positioning system (GPS).


Path loss: Due to attenuation and geometric spreading .
FACTOR INFLUENCING ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION

Noise : Man-made noise and ambient noise( due to hydrodynamics)


Multi-path propagation
High propation delay
Doppler frequency spread
HARDWARE PLATEFORM INTERFACE

HARDWARE PLATFORM INTERFACE

Sensor interface :
 Must develop common interface with different sensors (chemical,optical )
and communication elements(transducer)
 Wide variety of sensors, sampling strategies

Communication interface
 Amplifiers ,transducer
 Signal modulation

Hardware:
• Software define acoustic modem(SDAM)
• Reconfigurable hardware known to provide ,flexible ,high performance implementations for Dsp aplications
 Employ advanced modulation scheme and channel equalization for
Improved signal to noise ratio
 Employ high performance errorACOUSTIC
detection and correction coding scheme which reduces
MODEM
bit error rate to less than 10

 Parts of an acoustic modem :


. DSP board
. AFE (analog front end )
. Dc/dc converter
DATA TRANSMISSION IN MODEM
When no data is being transmitted ,the modem stays is sleep mode ,it periodically wakes up to
receive possible data being transmitted by far end
Modem. This results in low power consumption . Similarly when the data is to be transmitted,
the modem receives data from its links in sleep mode and
Then switches to transmit mode and transmit the data
 Group of sensors and
UNDERWATER vehicles deployed
ACOUSTIC SENSOR underwater and networked via
NETWORK
acoustic links(UW-ASN)
performing collaborative tasks.
 EQUIPMENTS:
 Autonomous underwater vehicles
APPLICATIONS
Seismic monitoring
Pollution monitoring
Ocean currents monitoring
Equipment monitoring and control
Autonomous underwater vehicles
Remotely operated vehicles
Acoustic navigation technology for multiple AUVs
Solar powered AUVs
Can be used to provide early warning of tsunamis generated by under sea
ADVANTAGES
Earthquakes.
It avoids data spoofing
It avoids privacy leakage
Pollution monitoring
Battery power is limited and usually batteries cannot be recharged
Also because solar energy cannot be exploited.
The available bandwidth is severely limited.
DISADVANTAGES
Channel characteristics including long and variable propagation delays.
Multipath and fading problems
High bit error rate
Despite much development in this area of the underwater wireless communication ,there still
an immense scope so more research as major
CONCLUSION
Part of the ocean bottem yet remains unexploded

The main objective is to overcome the present limitations and implement


Advanced technology for oceanographic research and cope up with the
Environmental effects on the noise performance of acoustic systems to compete with the
future challenges like effective transmission of audio and video signal etc.
