A Review on Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
In this paper, have studied and reviewed the emerging technology of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks. The challenges that are there in developing them and the applications. We have concluded with a future prospect of our present work. Underwater wireless sensor networks has emerged as one of the most hot topics of research in wireless technologies because of its usefulness in the challenging circumstances in which earlier the data collection was very difficult. Wireless sensors have made several fiels of underwater research and monitoring possible. In this paper we have discussed various applications of the same where the use of underwater wireless sensors have been a marvelous step towards achieving the required results. With many application discussed we have also given importance to the other advantages. Several disadvantages or challenges faced have also been analysed. Our future work and conclusion is discusses the possibilities of further research in the field of underwater wireless sensor networks.
