Next generation underwater networking: From communication to large-coverage tracking
Abstract
Funds to support performer in design of future naval autonomous systems in light of acoustic communications that enable multiple distributed assets to remain connected during undersea missions. Autonomous naval systems have advanced rapidly in the last decade owing to the improved vehicle designs and availability of acoustic communication links. Acoustic propagation, however, remains the major factor limiting the capabilities of these systems [1]. Motivated by the need for self-adaptive distributed operation and reliable high-speed communication between multiple submerged assets, we propose three research thrusts that we believe are at the forefront of next generation underwater networking. 1. Feedback-based systems: Transmit beamforming. 2. Multi-user multi-carrier communication. 3. Top-level design of networked and multi-modal systems.
