This paper proposes the new efficient system design strategies for the acoustic-based underwater multiple modem and media access control protocol. The system aims to establish the acoustic-based communication network of an underwater vehicles for deep sea mining, which ensures a certain level of maximum throughput regardless of the propagation delay of acoustic and allows fast data transmission through the acoustic-based multiple channel.

This paper proposes the new efficient system design strategies for the acoustic-based underwater communication system and it's media access protocol, which make it possible to control the multiple vehicles for underwater duty working by the surface plant. For an approach to implementation of the system, it is inevitable to establish acoustic-based underwater digital communication network to exchange the information between a surface plant and multiple vehicles in underwater.

This paper deals with an analysis of multipath which affect a transmission performance in underwater acoustic channel. For the test of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV), underwater acoustic channel with multipath structure is introduced to mathmatical modelling for a basin environment. In this paper, SMR(Signal to Multipath Ratio) which is defined as a parameter of mulipath's effect is presented as a mathmatical equation, and the equation or SMR is simulated by MATLAB program.

This paper discusses the development of a acoustic vector channel simulator for the performance analysis of a acoustic digital communication system. The channel simulator consists of transmission module, acoustic channel model, receiver, beamformer, and adaptive equalizer. QPSK source signal is generated by the parameters specified by a user and transmitted. The transmitted signal generate multipath signals which have a different delay, amplitude, and dopper Sequency. The multipath signals with the acoustic noises is the received signal. We can analysis the communication system performance according to the antenna structure, beamforming algorithm, and equalization algorithm.

본 논문에서는 수중 초음파 전송을 이용하여 해양 사고 발생 시 수중 실종자의 신원과 위치를 파악할 수 있는 재난 대응 시스템을 제안한다. 실종자 몸에 부착된 초음파 발생기에서 나온 신호를 해상에 배치된 다수의 하이드로폰 센서 노드에서 감지, 분석해 저전력 통신으로 선박 등에 설치된 중앙 제어시스템에 보내면 이를 분석해 실종자의 위치 등을 판별할 수 있어 수색 작업에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper we have studied the underwater vector channel modeling for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) to increase the performance and efficiency for ultrasound communication in underwater channel environments. Also we have analyzed the MIMO techniques using the proposed channel modeling. For underwater MIMO channel modeling. experiments were done in real channel environments and the data were analyzed to estimate parameters such as fading, Doppler, time delay, angle of arrival, and receiving power. These were used for modeling of underwater vector channel modeling for MIMO. Additionally, we have analyzed the performance of MIMO systems using our proposed channel models. As a result we could see that the BER has decreased severely with the same SNR when using the MIMO system.

수중에서는 대기와 달리 매질의 차이로 인하여 통신의 제약이 따르므로 초음파를 이용하여 정보를 송 수신한다. 수중통신을 하기 위해서는 신호를 증폭시키는 전력증폭기와 증폭된 전기 신호를 초음파로 변환시키는 트랜스듀서가 필요하다. 전력증폭기는 선형적인 출력이 보장되어야 하며, 수중에서의 발열과 연료문제로 인하여 높은 효율로 동작하여야 한다. 하지만 기존의 전력증폭기는 인가되는 고정전압과 출력전압의 차이로 인해 손실이 발생하여 효율이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 수중 통신에 적합한 특성을 가진 APEX사의 Class B push-pull 타입의 MP108A증폭기를 사용하여 선형적인 출력 특성을 보장하며 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 전력증폭기를 구현하고, 실험을 통해 특성을 확인하였다.
