“…In turn, Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) have also been explored in maritime scenarios [18,19]. Work in [18] proposed a Nautical Ad hoc NETwork (NANET) in the VHF band in order to improve the range of the individual links. Depending on the distance of the nodes to the shore, the authors proposed to employ terrestrial nodes for enabling the communications in coastal areas and the use of P2P (ad hoc) links in further areas to the shore.…”

Maritime communications are really challenging due to the adverse transmission conditions and the lack of a pre-provided infrastructure for supporting long range connectivity with land. Communications in high seas are usually covered by satellite links that are expensive and lead to high power consumption by the terminals. However, in areas closer to the shore, other communication options have been adopted for different kinds of services such as boat tracking and telemetry, data collection from moored monitoring systems, etc. In these scenarios, technologies such as cellular communications or wireless sensor networks have been employed so far; nevertheless, all of them present different drawbacks mostly related with the coverage and energy-efficiency of the system. Recently, a novel communication paradigm, so-called Low Power-Wide Area Network (LP-WAN) has gained momentum due to its interesting characteristics regarding transmission distances and end-node’s power consumption. The latter may be of great interest for ships with energetic restrictions such as small sailboats, recreational boats, or radio control ships. For that reason, in this work, we present a boat tracking and monitoring system based on LoRa (Long Range), one of the most prominent LP-WAN technologies. We provide a comprehensive overview of this communication solution as well as a discussion addressing its benefits when applied to maritime scenarios. We present the results extracted from a case of study, where real-training sessions of Optimist Class sailboats have been monitored by means of the presented architecture, obtaining good levels of coverage and link-reliability with limited power consumption. A transmission range study is also presented, demonstrating the validity of this proposal for monitoring activities inside the port or maneuvers close to the shore.

“…As an example, VHF provides a data rate on the order of kbps to support simple applications, while IEEE 802.16 provides a data rate on the order of Mbps to support multimedia applications [35]. As another example, IEEE 802.11s forms a backbone network connecting ships, buoys, and beacons to shore stations, while satellite provides communication to nodes beyond the coverage of a shore station, as well as another ship, buoy, or beacon [8].…”

Maritime Networking: Bringing Internet to the Sea

Maritime networks establish wireless multi-hop networks to provide wireless broadband service at sea, connecting various kinds of ships, maritime buoys, and beacons. The maritime networks possess two distinguishing characteristics highly affected by maneuver at sea-dynamic link quality and bandwidth constrained, and dynamic network topology-that warrant specific attention. Unlike land vehicles, maneuver at sea is affected by sea surface movement and wave occlusions, which can cause unstable environment with a high rate of link breakages caused by low link stability, as well as low and highly variable bandwidth. In spite of the need to achieve performance close to high-speed terrestrial wireless broadband service on land, there is only a perfunctory effort to investigate maritime networks. There is an urgent need to refresh the interest to investigate, as well as to further enhance, maritime networks. This paper presents a review of the limited research works of this topic, which revolve around the networking issues in the link, network, and upper layers, in the literature. The objective is to establish a foundation in order to motivate a new research interest in maritime networks. Open issues are also presented to foster new research initiatives in this burgeoning and exciting area. INDEX TERMS Maritime network, ship ad hoc network, wireless network.

“…Vessels and facilities on the water surface capable of wireless communication can be used to construct a nautical WANET (NANET) [14,15] to provide vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-shore communication. For example, a WiMAX-based mesh network is used to provide onboard Internet broadband access for vessels in the Mediterranean without using satellites [63], and to enable high rate ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication [13].…”

Marine Internet for Internetworking in Oceans: A Tutorial

Ever-increasing human activities in oceans require handy, reliable and cost-effective high-speed network access similar to terrestrial Internet services to be available on and under water. However, terrestrial Internet cannot be extended to oceans seamlessly due to huge differences between terrestrial and oceanic environments, while satellite services are still very expensive especially for ordinary users with communication quality susceptible to weather conditions, and cannot cover underwater networks either. Therefore, marine Internet, proposed about six years ago, is the earliest scheme that tries to systematically address the internetworking issue in oceans and still in its infancy stage. This tutorial aims to introduce the principle, architecture and applications of marine Internet, along with discussion on oceanic environments for communication, currently available and under developing communication systems in oceans, as well as challenging issues necessary for further studies to foster the development of marine Internet.
