Wireless Networks - Call for Papers: Signal Processing Techniques for Sustainable Communication in Underwater Acoustic Networks
Technology has driven mankind to achieve such feats that now it is possible to communicate underwater through various acoustic channels. This is a highly challenging and rewarding field since the acoustic channels in an underwater have to go through time variance and frequency variance parameters for effective communication. Recent advances have led to the proliferation of cognitive radio communication through modulation and receiver type algorithms. Also, such signal processing techniques are trained through reinforcement or deep learning models in order to acquaint themselves with necessary data over a period of time. While there are quite a lot of systems currently, the future of cognitive radio communication in underwater acoustic networks will be based on transform domain type of communication networks and blind receiver models. In order to reach that level of sophistication, the current state of the art technologies must have to overcome the limitations of limited bandwidth, routing, power inefficiencies, delays in propagation, routing, and utilization of resources. For instance, the conventional routing protocols that are used in ground-based systems will be ineffective underwater due to the mobility of nodes. Even sensor networks like TTDD, SPIN, rumour routing, and directed diffusion face problems in processing signals underwater.
In the underwater environment, both natural and artificial channels are available for the transmission of information through acoustic properties. One research finding reflects the importance of cognitive radio and acoustic communication networks in the utilization of high spectrum ranges for communication in underwater regions. Such systems can also be flexible in terms of resource allocation, power allocation, frequency allotment etc. Nevertheless, even these systems still face limitations due to low frequencies, low rate of data transmission, dispersion of energy, reflection, and degradation in the performance of devices. The media access control tools in such systems are based on two predominant approaches viz. Scheduled approach and contention approach. The former technique eliminates the collision among various nodes of transmission but face disadvantages like propagation delays, unsuitable at narrow bandwidths etc. The latter is based on transmission nodes that compete for one channel and has their own set of advantages and disadvantages.
