Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being tasked with increasingly complex missions. The acoustic communications required for AUVs are, by the nature of the medium, low bandwidth while adverse environmental conditions underwater often…

This paper provides an overview of how and why acoustic waves are important for underwater communication when compared with radio and optical waves, underwater acoustic channel, it's characteristics and model. Also about the underwater…

Since its inception, underwater digital acoustic communication has required custom hardware that neither has the economies of scale nor is pervasive. We present the first acoustic system that brings underwater messaging capabilities to…

While acoustic communications have been considered the prominent technology to communicate under water for several years, other technologies are being developed based, e.g., on optical and radio-frequency electro-magnetic waves. Each…

With the recent increase in the number of underwater activities, having effective underwater communication systems has become increasingly important. Underwater acoustic communication has been widely used but greatly impaired due to the…

As the dominant information carrier in water, acoustic wave is widely used for underwater detection, communication and imaging. Even though underwater acoustic communication has been greatly improved in the past decades, it still suffers…

In this paper, we present a dynamic median consensus protocol for multi-agent systems using acoustic communication. The motivating target scenario is a multi-agent system consisting of underwater robots acting as intelligent sensors,…

Acoustic communication is currently considered as the best way to transmit information over long distances under water, since acoustic waves have lower attenuation in water than the other information transmission media. However, current…

This paper is devoted to local sensing and communication for collective underwater systems used in networked and swarm modes. It is demonstrated that a specific combination of modal and sub-modal communication, used simultaneously for…

Future smart ocean applications require long distance and reliable communications to connect underwater sensors/robots with remote surface base stations. It is challenging to achieve such goal due to the harsh and dynamic underwater…

Acoustic propagation models are widely used in numerous oceanic and other underwater applications. Most conventional models are approximate solutions of the acoustic wave equation, and require accurate environmental knowledge to be…

Establishing reliable data exchange in an underwater domain using energy and power-efficient communication methods is crucial and challenging. Radio frequencies are absorbed by the salty and mineral-rich water and optical signals are…

To address the imperative for covert underwater swarm coordination, this paper introduces "Hydrodynamic Whispering," a near-field silent communication paradigm utilizing Artificial Lateral Line (ALL) arrays. Grounded in potential flow…

Teams of cooperating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) rely on acoustic communication for coordination, yet this communication medium is constrained by limited range, multi-path effects, and low bandwidth. One way to address the…

Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication plays a key role in the process of exploring and studying the ocean. In this paper, a modified non-stationary wideband channel model for UWA communication in shallow water scenarios is proposed. In…

Cooperating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) often rely on acoustic communication to coordinate their actions effectively. However, the reliability of underwater acoustic communication decreases as the communication range between…

The underwater acoustic channel is characterized by a path loss that depends not only on the transmission distance, but also on the signal frequency. As a consequence, transmission bandwidth depends on the transmission distance, a feature…

Controlling a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles can be challenging due to low bandwidth communication between agents. This paper proposes to address this challenge by optimizing the quantization design of the communications between…

The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, to establish a tractable model for the underwater acoustic channel useful for network optimization in terms of convexity. Second, to propose a network coding based lower bound for transmission…

Underwater communication is essential for both recreational and scientific activities, such as scuba diving. However, existing methods remain highly constrained by environmental challenges and often require specialized hardware, driving…
