Abstract:

Underwater Communication contributes to marine activities in collecting underwater data and monitoring the underwater environment. Underwater sensor devices will be useful in various applications such as oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, tactical surveillance applications. Despite underwater communication provides an enormous amount of information about an ocean’s environmental conditions, it faces numerous challenges. The challenges can be technical or research problems like low bandwidth and propagation delay, which need to be solved. Aside from these constraints, the main problem is the battery life of an underwater device used to power up the device. The batteries are very complicated to recharge and substitute in the underwater environment. In this paper, we present the literature survey on various applications and constraints of underwater devices.
