A Survey of Localization Systems in the Sea Based on New Categories

Abstract

Localization schemes are considered very important issue for wireless networks. Today, positioning information takes big space from current research or study. In other words, localization approaches are one of the most significant works which support the creation of new innovations, services, applications and business models in the area of the most system or networks. Different methods, wireless technologies and systems were suggested in the literature to provide sea localization services to enhance the services provided to users. There is, however, a lack of an update survey paper which integrates some of the precise and accurate localization systems recently proposed. In this paper, we intend to conduct a survey of various techniques of localization in sea based on different technologies and systems that was mentioned in the literature. The paper focuses primarily on localization systems from new vision. The current systems introduced in the literature are highlighted and classified in new categories. By comparison to the current surveys, different systems are also previewed from the perspective of their technologies they used. Instead of these classifications, we are proposing a new category for the localization systems and we are also addressing remaining challenges to accurate localization.
