Abstract
In this seminar, I will go over our journey in the underwater networks research work. Basically, I will highlight our recent work on bringing the Internet to underwater environments by deploying a low power and compact underwater optical wireless system, called Aqua-Fi, that support today’s Internet applications. Aqua-Fi uses a light-emitting diode (LED) or Laser to support bidirectional wide-range communication services with different requirements, low cost, and simple implementation. LEDs introduce robust short distances solutions with low power requirements. Aqua-Fi also uses Lasers to extend the communication distance at the cost of higher power requirements. Throughout this work, we discuss the proposed Aqua-Fi system architecture, limitations, and solutions to improve data rates and deliver reliable communication links.
