MANTET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks), which is configured and operated by each terminals with no support of communication infra-structures, is recently expanded its application fields from terrestrial communications to underwater environments with technical advances of Wi/Fi and minimized portable terminals. Underwater sensor network, undersea environment explorations and probes, information transmission for underwater area, etc., is typical application fields of underwater MANET. Especially, Performance measurement and analysis on this application fields is one of important research area and base of design, implementation and operation for underwater MANET. However, the research results are focued on various transmission parameters on network level, and its objects of analysis are also performance of network level. In this paper, transmission performances for application levels are measured and analyzed for user levels on underwater MANET. In this study, voice traffic is assumed as object application traffic, computer simulation which is based on NS-2 having additional implemented functions for underwater communications is used. on some defined scale of MANET, transmission performances according to varying traffic environments are measured and analyzed, operation conditions on underwater MANET is suggested with the analysis.

As unmanned underwater systems have recently emerged, a high-speed underwater channel modeling technique, which is one of the most important techniques in the system, has received a lot of attention. In this paper, we proposed a high-speed sound propagation model and verified the applicability through quantitative performance analyses. We used a high-order finite difference method (FDM) for wave propagation modeling in the water, and a domain decomposition method was adopted using multiple general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) to increase the calculation efficiency. We compared the results of the model we proposed with the analytic solution in the half-infinite media and results of the Virtual Timeseries Experiment (VirTEX) model, which is based on the ray method. Finally, we analyzed the performance of the model quantitatively using numerical examples. Through quantitative analyses of the improvement in computational performance, we confirmed that the computational speed increases linearly as the number of GPUs increases. The computation times are increased by 2 times and 8 times, respectively, when the domain size of computation and the maximum frequency are doubled. We expect that the proposed high-speed underwater channel modeling technique is able to contribute to the enhancement of national defense as an underwater communication channel model and analysis tool to develop the underwater communication technique for the unmanned underwater system.

The performance of underwater acoustic(UWA) communication system is sensitive to the Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI) due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. And due to limited frequency using acoustic wave, UWA is a low transmission rate. Thus, it is necessary technique of Space-time code, equalizer and channel code to improve transmission speed and eliminate ISI. In this paper, UWA communication system were analyzed by simulation using these techniques. In the result of simulation, the proposed Space-time code, Turbo code, and Zero forcing techniques is shown that improved performance than conventional UWA communication.

수중에서는 대기와는 달리 매질의 차이로 인하여 통신의 제약이 따르므로 초음파를 이용하여 정보를 송 수신한다. 수중통신을 하기 위해서는 신호를 증폭시키는 전력증폭기와 초음파를 발생시키는 트랜스듀서가 필요하다. 전력증폭기는 수중에서의 발열과 연료문제로 인하여 높은 효율로 동작하여야한다. 하지만 전력증폭기에 인가되는 고정전압과 출력전압의 차이로 인해 손실이 발생하여 효율이 저하된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 전력증폭기의 효율 향상을 위해 출력전압에 따라 인가전압을 가변하는 ET(Envelope Tracking) 기술을 적용하기 위한 4[kW]급, 20[kHz]의 대역폭을 갖는 가변 DC-DC 컨버터를 설계하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 특성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a multiple underwater object classification and tracking algorithm using the narrowband tonal and frequency line features extracted from the frequency spectrum of the acoustic signal. The general algorithm using the wideband and narrowband energy has a high tracking error when objects are close and cross each other. But the proposed algorithm shows a good tracking performance for the simulation scenarios generated by the real acoustic data.

In this paper, we study the posture control of an underwater vehicle with nonholonomic constraint. Generally, systems with nonholnomic constraints cannot be stabilized to an equilibrium points by smooth state feedback control. Therefore, we proposed a control strategy for posture control of the underwater vehicle using backstepping control. The proposed control scheme is applied to the posture control of an underwater vehicle and verified the effectiveness of control strategy by numerical simulation.

In this paper, an estimator design of underwater environment changes is proposed by using observer techniques for ROV control system. The underwater environment changes are considered as an external disturbance term for ROV model and it is added into the input term of ROV model. To estimate the environment changes, a PI observer which does not effect the external disturbance input term is proposed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the step and the sinusoidal environment changes are considered in simulation. The proposed method will be applied to design the haptic controller for ROV in future.

Underwater channels can be regarded as time-varying systems in view of the acoustical characteristics due to the fact that the characteristics of the channel are affected by the environmental and geometrical conditions. Especially in shallow water case, the surface and bottom conduct as a waveguide so echo effect due tu the multipath reflections are severe. Therefore in shallow water communications, it is very important to equalize the transmitted signals distorted by the underwater channels with time-varying multipath fading. In this paper an equalizer system which employs the frequency domain adaptive filter to equalize the channels using inverse modeling technique is introduced.
