"underwater acoustic communication"

Underwater networks suffer from energy efficiency challenges due to difficulties in recharging underwater nodes. In addition, underwater acoustic networks show unique transmission characteristics such as frequency-dependent attenuation, which causes …

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) networks play a crucial role in tactical, commercial, and scientific applications, where reliable and robust communication protocols are needed due to the challenging characteristics of the channel. With this …

As the technology behind autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) becomes more feasible, it is possible to use fleets of AUVs for coordinated missions such as area mapping, surveillance, etc. The AUVs are typically sent by a central node such as a …
