Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, where the steady increase in oceanic activities has promoted the need for reliable maritime communication technologies. The existing maritime communication systems involve terrestrial, aerial, and space networks. This paper presents a holistic overview of the different forms of maritime communications and provides the latest advances in various marine technologies. The paper first introduces the different techniques used for maritime communications over the radio frequency (RF) and optical bands. Then, we present the channel models for RF and optical bands, modulation and coding schemes, coverage and capacity, and radio resource management in maritime communications. After that, the paper presents some emerging use cases of maritime networks, such as the Internet of Ships and the ship-to-underwater Internet of things. Finally, we highlight a few exciting open challenges and identify a set of future research directions for maritime communication, including bringing broadband connectivity to the deep sea, using terahertz and visible light signals for on-board applications, and data-driven modeling for radio and optical marine propagation.

“…However, a 100% availability of the hybrid system was reached thanks to the low attenuation of the RF signals at 40 GHz. Gregory and Badri-Hoehe conducted a 6-month measurement campaign on a 14-km long RF/FSO hybrid link with the FSO system operating at a 1550-nm wavelength and the RF system operating at 38 GHz [43]. The main motivation of the work was to correlate the hybrid link results with the weather conditions that were measured simultaneously.…”

Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, where the steady increase in oceanic activities has promoted the need for reliable maritime communication technologies. The existing maritime communication systems involve terrestrial, aerial, and satellite networks. This paper presents a holistic overview of the different forms of maritime communications and provides the latest advances in various marine technologies. The paper first introduces the different techniques used for maritime communications over the RF and optical bands. Then, we present the channel models for RF and optical bands, modulation and coding schemes, coverage and capacity, and radio resource management in maritime communications. After that, the paper presents some emerging use cases of maritime networks, such as the Internet of Ships (IoS) and the ship-to-underwater Internet of things (IoT). Finally, we highlight a few exciting open challenges and identify a set of future research directions for maritime communication, including bringing broadband connectivity to the deep sea, using THz and visible light signals for on-board applications, and datadriven modeling for radio and optical marine propagation.

“…To characterize the effect of maritime environment on behavior of optical wireless communication systems, the variation of optical signal intensity's attenuation in maritime fog environments was studied experimentally and distribution functions were obtained [7]. The availability of a hybrid network of RF/FSO link was examined in [8], and both optical transmission and correlation were obtained for 14 km FSO link and considering environment parameters. An experimental work was conducted for 7.2 km propagation path to develop a model for performance evaluation of FSO communication link in near-surface marine environment that is base for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore FSO communication [9].…”

<p> In this paper, the outage probability of maritime free-space optical communication system is analyzed. Maritime turbulence channel is modeled by Lognormal distribution. Channel model includes the combined effect of turbulence, pointing error, angle-of-arrival (AOA) fluctuations, and attenuation. Pointing error and AOA fluctuations are assumed to be Beckmann and Rayleigh distributed, respectively. Turbulence power spectrum is considered to present the Kolmogorov characteristics and Rytov variance of a propagating Gaussian beam is obtained. The probability density function, cumulative distribution function and outage probability of maritime communication channel are obtained analytically. Outage performance of a maritime communication link is given depending on various parameters of the maritime environment, the Gaussian beam, and the communication system. </p>
