ABSTRACT PENG, SHAOLIN. Design and Evaluation of Propagation-delay-limited Low-cost
Communication Systems.(Under the direction of Dr. Alexander G. Dean.) Nowadays …

This paper introduces the RaPTEX toolchain and its use for the rapid prototyping and
evaluation of an underwater ultrasonic communication system. The main goal of our …

With the rise in marine and underwater activities, there is a natural uptick in the demand for
underwater communication. As various underwater communication techniques are …

Acoustic methods are commonly used for sensing and communications in the underwater
environment. Various acoustic modems are commercially available, but these existing …

In this paper we discuss issues related to the design of underwater acoustic network
protocols which are tailored around, and leverage on, the differences between underwater …

In the past, underwater acoustic modems were mainly used in Oil & Gas and military
scenarios, that need long range transmissions with high power emitters often deployed in …

Terrestrial communication has seen a large expansion over the past few decades. We've
advanced from landlines to cellphones, and with the development of technologies and …

In terms of acoustics, the underwater environment is very chaotic. For example, in shallow
region of water, sound waves will experience a high level of reverberation due to waves …

Existing underwater acoustic networking platforms are for the most part based on inflexible
hardware and software architectures that can support mostly point-to-point, low-data-rate …

Acoustic communications and networking research depends heavily on validation of the
proposed algorithms through experiments. These experiments are usually carried out by off …
