Abstract:This letter investigates a two‐hop underwater optical wireless communication‐radio frequency setup consisting of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a communication buoy, and an onshore data center (ODC). The information transmission between AUV and ODC occurs in two phases. In the first phase, the AUV communicates to the buoy over the optical wireless link. The buoy harvests the energy by using simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer and also decodes the information. In the subsequent phase,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
