Underwater wireless communications can be carried out through acoustic, radio frequency (RF), and optical waves. Compared to its bandwidth limited acoustic and RF counterparts, underwater optical wireless communications (UOWCs) can support higher data rates at low latency levels. However, severe aquatic channel conditions (e.g., absorption, scattering, turbulence, etc.) pose great challenges for UOWCs and significantly reduce the attainable communication ranges, which necessitates efficient networking and localization solutions. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive survey on the challenges, advances, and prospects of underwater optical wireless networks (UOWNs) from a layer by layer perspective which includes: 1) Potential network architectures; 2) Physical layer issues including propagation characteristics, channel modeling, and modulation techniques 3) Data link layer problems covering link configurations, link budgets, performance metrics, and multiple access schemes; 4) Network layer topics containing relaying techniques and potential routing algorithms; 5) Transport layer subjects such as connectivity, reliability, flow and congestion control; 6) Application layer goals and state-of-the-art UOWN applications, and 7) Localization and its impacts on UOWN layers. Finally, we outline the open research challenges and point out the future directions for underwater optical wireless communications, networking, and localization research.

“…The main task of a MAC protocol is to prevent simultaneous transmissions or resolve packet collisions, while providing higher throughput, low channel access delays, longer network life-time and fairness among the nodes in a network [2], [5]. Terrestrial MAC protocols could not be used for UWSNs due to different channel dynamics, long and unpredictable propagation delay, energy constraint and high attenuation [5]- [7]. Therefore, designing efficient MAC protocols for UWSNs is of paramount importance, which is also a popular research area [2], [5], [6], [8], [9].…”

“…Therefore, how to exploit the EM wave's faster transmission and higher bandwidth capability in underwater to make real-time low latency and high-throughput applications feasible is grabbing the attention of the related scientific community [7], [17], [23]- [27]. Despite having a relatively shorter range in deep water, EM technology is a promising technology for UWSNs as they have the ability to provide much higher data rates than those achievable with Ac waves in harsh environments with no direct path.…”

Underwater communication (UWC) growing over the past few decades is the major tool for exploring the vast underwater space. Research and development of UWC networks are dominantly acoustic (Ac) wave based due to its long coverage capability. However, the demand of low latency and high throughput applications, and the emergence of short-range UWCs in modern times has drawn attention towards the development of electromagnetic (EM) wave based underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). In light of this, this paper proposes novel medium access control (MAC) protocols by integrating EMbased communications in UWSNs. Proposed protocols use one TDMA-based control channel and one or multiple data channel(s) for control and data packet transmissions respectively. The control channel uses EM wave, while the data channels use either EM or Ac wave for communications. Proposed MAC protocols are developed considering both protocol interference model and physical interference model by taking both propagation delay and underwater channel impairments into account. Performance of the protocols is evaluated through extensive simulations in terms of throughput, packet collision rate, waiting time, energy requirement and network coverage. Impact of system parameters including offered load, network size, data packet size, control packet power, water conductivity and channel bandwidth are analyzed thoroughly. A comprehensive feasibility study by comparing the proposed MAC protocols with the traditional protocols as well as with the full Ac-wave based counterpart is also presented for further validations. INDEX TERMS EM wave, MAC protocol, TDMA, Multi-channel protocol, UWSN.

This paper presents the analysis of the capacitive based flow sensor using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and mathematical equation approach. The CFD simulations for different types of sensor structure were carried out. Pressure and velocity of the fluid were varied in order to study the hydrodynamic parameter such as displacement and drag force. For the coplanar electrode, width of electrode and half gap between electrodes were varied for capacitive response using mathematical approach. Based on the simulation, the displacement of the dome increases as the pressure increases. The result shows that the most suitable thickness of the dome is 0.1 mm based on the displacement and the strain. Meanwhile for the coplanar electrode, the width and half gap showed a significant effect on the capacitance response.
