Review of Underwater Acoustic Communication and Network Technology
Underwater Acoustic Communication(UAC)and network technology play an important role in marine environment monitoring,commercial field and military field,caring about the ocean,understanding the ocean,and managing the ocean are inseparable from the development of underwater acoustic communication and network technology.The UAC technology and Underwater Acoustic Communication Network(UACN)are reviewed in this paper.Firstly,the development of underwater acoustic communication technology and underwater acoustic communication network is reviewed,and the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel is summarized.Then,the incoherent modulation technology,coherent modulation technology and new communication technology oriented to application requirements in underwater acoustic communication technology are described,and the data link layer media access control protocol,network layer routing protocol and cross-layer design in underwater acoustic communication network are classified and discussed.Finally,the shortcomings of current underwater acoustic communication and network technology are summarized,and the future development of underwater acoustic communication and network technology is prospected.
