Although terrestrial Internet can be easily accessed almost any time in populated lands via various types of terminals, this is not yet the case in oceans mainly due to huge differences between terrestrial and marine environments. Oceans account for more than 71%71% of the Earth’s surface with...

their transmission speeds are smaller than those of wired communication on average. It is also expensive and difficult to densely deploy them, while the major energy sources are battery and solar energy. In underwater environments, the majority of networks are based on acoustic wireless communication...
A sink node collects data from a group of sensor nodes, and transmits the collected data to the base station via the GPRS network. The server stores and processes the received data from the base station. The user terminals connect the server over the Internet. Figure 1. Common architecture ...
