Underwater wireless communication is the wireless

communication in which acoustic signals (waves) carry

digital information through an underwater channel.

Under water acoustic communication is a technique of

receiving and transmitting messages below water

Signal that are used to carry digital information through

underwater channel are acoustic channel
HISTORY
 Leonardo Da Vinci stated the science of under water
acoustic communiction in 1940

 In 1687 Isaac Newton wrote his Mathematical Principles

of Natural Philosophy which included the first
mathematical treatment of sound in water

 In 20 century around years ago ships use to communicate

with the help of bells

 But now by wireless technology we are using sensors

UNDER WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION
 Some times heavy water damage wires and we loss
the signal
 Acoustic channels gives us wireless communication
by using acoustic sensors
 Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
 Underwater sensors (UW-A SN)
Difference between wired
&wireless communication
Wired underwater communication
 Breaking & damage of wires
 No long distance communication
 Heavy devices should be managed
Communication is lost if wired is damaged
Wireless underwater communication
 There is no wire damage problem
 Communication is easy
 Long distance communication
 Easy carry devices
 ACOUSTIC MODEM
An acoustic modem is used
to transmit data underwater,
much as telephones modem are
used to transmit data over
phone lines

An acoustic modem converts

digital data into special under
water sound signals
Acoustic sensor networking
These signals are
then received by a
second acoustic
modem and converts
back into digital data

In this ship is pass

information to
submarine
ACOUSTIC MODEM
YEARS AGO USED CURRENTLY USED
Under water vehicles
ADVANTAGES
 Avoids data leakage
 Privacy leakage
 can be used defence monitoring
 Used military
 Pollution monitoring
 Early information about underwater Tsunami and
earthquakes
DISADVANTAGES
 High bit error rate
 Multipath and fading
 Battery power is limited
 Usually batteries cannot be recharged also because
solar energy cannot be explotied
APPLICATIONS
 defence
 Security and marine archaeology
 Search and rescue missions
 Environmental monitoring to gathering of
oceanographic data
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV)
 Remotely operated vehicle(ROV)

Pollution monitoring
CONCLUSION
 It can be helful in many ways help full to
monitor underwater 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 signals etc.
