“…In [307] the authors have proposed an assistive navigation system using AUVs for underwater sensor networks. An on-demand underwater technique for locating the underwater sensors was proposed in [308]. In short, many researchers developed assistive localization schemes for the underwater environment based on acoustic waves.…”

Underwater wireless communications can be carried out through acoustic, radio frequency (RF), and optical waves. Compared to its bandwidth limited acoustic and RF counterparts, underwater optical wireless communications (UOWCs) can support higher data rates at low latency levels. However, severe aquatic channel conditions (e.g., absorption, scattering, turbulence, etc.) pose great challenges for UOWCs and significantly reduce the attainable communication ranges, which necessitates efficient networking and localization solutions. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive survey on the challenges, advances, and prospects of underwater optical wireless networks (UOWNs) from a layer by layer perspective which includes: 1) Potential network architectures; 2) Physical layer issues including propagation characteristics, channel modeling, and modulation techniques 3) Data link layer problems covering link configurations, link budgets, performance metrics, and multiple access schemes; 4) Network layer topics containing relaying techniques and potential routing algorithms; 5) Transport layer subjects such as connectivity, reliability, flow and congestion control; 6) Application layer goals and state-of-the-art UOWN applications, and 7) Localization and its impacts on UOWN layers. Finally, we outline the open research challenges and point out the future directions for underwater optical wireless communications, networking, and localization research.

“…The design of routing protocol for UWSN is concerned with saving energy and node mobility in the longterm non-time critical applications. The researchers have made numerous efforts to develop efficient routing protocol while considering the unique characteristics of underwater network [26]. There are mainly three categories namely that determine the path: 1) Proactive Routing Protocols (Table Driven): The core function of this protocol is to maintain the routing table containing all routing information to find routes from node to node [25], [27], [28].…”

The probe of innovative technologies is a furious issue of the day for the improvement of underwater wireless sensor network devices. The undersea is a remarkable and mystical region which is still unexplored and inaccessible on earth. Interest has been increasing in monitoring the medium of underwater for oceanographic data collection, surveillance application, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, commercial, scientific investigation, attack avoidance, and other military purposes. In underwater milieus, the sensor networks face a dangerous situation due to intrinsic water nature. However, significant challenges in this concern are high power consumption of acoustic modem, high propagation latency in data transmission, and dynamic topology of nodes due to wave movements. Routing protocols working in UWSN has low stability period due to increased data flooding which causes nodes to expire quickly due to unnecessary data forwarding and high energy consumption. The quick energy consumption of nodes originates large coverage holes in the core network. To keep sensor nodes functional in an underwater network, dedicated protocols are needed for routing that maintain the path connectivity. The path connectivity consumes more energy, high route updated cost with a high end to end delay for the retransmission of packets. So, in this paper, we are providing a comprehensive survey of different routing protocols employed in UWSN. The UWSN routing protocols are studied and evaluated related to the network environment and quality measures such as the end to end delay, dynamic network topology, energy consumption and packet delivery ratio. The merits and demerits of each routing protocol are also highlighted.

“…Other methods have been developed from a network perspective, working largely to extend the multilateration technique to cover large areas or exploit the broadcast nature of wireless transmissions to reduce the communication overhead [16,17,18]. In our previous work, we had developed a system that used scheduled periodic broadcasts from timesynchronized anchors [19] and another system with asynchronous anchors that can react to a localization demand [20].…”

In this paper, we consider a problem of localizing a moving object in the context of an underwater distributed antenna system. All the distributed nodes record the time-of-arrivals of a single message from the moving object and obtain the Doppler speed estimates used in the decoding process. Conventional methods have relied only on the time-of-arrival measurements to obtain position estimates, on top of which filtering methods can be further applied for tracking purposes. In this work, we explore the usefulness of Doppler speed information. The combination of time-of-arrival measurements and Doppler speed estimates associated with a single message enhances the accuracy of position estimation and provides an estimate of the velocity of the mobile object. A Kalman Filter (KF) and a Probabilistic Data Association Filter (PDAF) are further implemented processing the point estimates. Simulations show that the proposed Doppler-aided methods improve both the point estimation and tracking filter performance, which is verified using data from pool tests.
