Scope
This document specifies the functionality of the underwater delay and disruption tolerant network gateway (UWA-DTN-GW) to support interworking and provides interoperability between IPv6-based network and underwater acoustic sensor network (UWASN):
– Interoperability for IPv6-based network and UWASN interworking; and
– Addressing interoperability for IPv6-based network and UWASN interworking
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to specify the interaction between an IPv6-based network and an underwater acoustic sensor network. This document provides an overview, functional interworking, operation, and a detailed description of the connection between the ground and underwater networks.
Demand in each field is logistics, military, diver communication, and mobile communication.
According to a recent market report published by HTF Market Intelligence Consulting, the annual growth rate of the underwater wireless communication market is estimated to reach 18.5% between 2016 and 2022. The U.S. is leading the underwater wireless telecommunications market, followed by Europe. The Middle East and Africa are emerging markets with many opportunities and are expected to reach $165.5 million by 2022. The underwater wireless communication market is divided into marine oil and gas industries, defence, R&D industries, and defence industries are forming large markets, with R&D and marine industries expected to be $1.08.8 billion and $577.3 million by 2022.
