A survey of practical issues in underwater networks

Abstract

Underwater sensor networks are attracting increasing interest from researchers in terrestrial radio-based sensor networks. There are important physical, technological, and economic differences between terrestrial and underwater sensor networks. In this survey, we highlight a number of important practical issues that have not been emphasized in recent surveys of underwater networks, with an intended audience of researchers who are moving from radio-based terrestrial networks into underwater networks.
