A study of utilization of magnetic induction for underwater communication

The vast bulk of underwater communication research has focused on acoustic communication. High propagation delays, extremely low data rates, and very environment-dependent channel behavior are among issues that acoustic communication encounters. To solve these flaws, magnetic induction is proposed as a viable communication paradigm for underwater applications in this paper. All research obstacles in this area are described, according to this. Underwater MI communications are fundamentally distinct from traditional underwater communication paradigms, which depend on electromagnetic, acoustic, or optical waves to convey information between transmitting and receiving parties. MI-based underwater communications have a number of unique and promising characteristics, including low signal propagation delay, reliable and consistent channel behaviour, a sufficiently long communication range with high bandwidth, and the ability to operate silently and stealthily underwater. This article presents the foundations of underwater MI communications, including MI channel models, MI networking protocols design, and MI-based underwater localization, in order to fully use the promise aspects of MI-based communications under water.
