In this paper, we propose and evaluate a FDE combined with STBC transmission structure to cancellation of ISI in underwater acoustic communication. To achieve this purpose, underwater acoustic channels are modeled and the simulation results are presented. In case of STBC-FDE, the transmission rate is less about 4% than STBC-OFDM, but the SER performance is better than STBC-OFDM that is larger from 4.4% to 16.8% at the SNR of 15dB than STBC-OFDM.

최근 환경오염에 의한 수질관리, 재난방지, 해양자원탐사 및 군사목적 등으로 수중환경에서의 음파통신에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 수중네트워크는 물이라는 특수한 환경으로 인해 많은 제약사항이 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위한 노력은 계속되고 있으며 더불어 보안의 필요성도 함께 중요시 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수중 음파통신 MAC계층에서 AES, ARIA, LEA 암호 알고리즘의 성능을 측정하고 LEA 암호 알고리즘의 우수성을 보이고자 한다.

This study analyzed the recreational scuba diving regulations in Korea and other foreign countries and it proposes five changes to improve the Act On The Safety, Promotion, Etc. Of Underwater Leisure Activities in Korea. First, "recreational underwater activity participant" should be modified to refer to 'an individual or group of individuals entering into a contract with a recreational underwater activity businessperson for their own use'. Second, the person setting up the recreational underwater activity zone should be expanded to 'recreational underwater activity businessperson and/or recreational underwater activity participant'. Third, since recreational technical diving uses nitrox or mixed gas, a clause should be added that a sticker or band clearly indicating the type of gas should be attached. Fourth, a Surface Marker Buoy (SMB) should be added to the diving equipment, and the daily management and maintenance of cylinders should be specified in detail. Fifth, it is necessary to specify in the Act that recreational underwater activity participants are encouraged to purchase diving insurance for their own use. In addition, for the safety of underwater activity participants, the Act must specifically state the emergency procedures and diving guidelines of a recreational underwater activity businessperson.

This paper introduces a test bed for communication protocol schemes of underwater acoustic sensor network, and also shows experimental results obtained from the test bed. As a testing protocol, carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is evaluated on underwater acoustic channel. A sensor node is equipped with a DSP control board of ATmega2560 and a commercial underwater modem produced by Benthos. The control board not only manipulates a GPS signal to acquire the information of location and time, but also controls the underwater modem to operate according to the procedure designed for a given testing protocol. Whenever any event takes place such as exchanging control/data packets between underwater modems and acquiring location and timing information, each sensor node reports them through radio frequency (RF) air interface to a central station located on the ground. The four kinds of packets for CSMA/CA, RTS(Request To Send), CTS(Clear to Send), DATA, ACK(Acknowledgement) are designed according to the underwater communication environment and are analyzed through the lake experiment from the point of feasibility of CSMA/CA in underwater acoustic communications.

In general, it is critical that grout consistency permit the complete filling of void space without segregation of ingredients. Recently, the antiwashout agent is used on underwater grout materials for preventing the grout from the segregation in water. This study introduces a new type of antiwashout underwater and flowable grout material using viscous modifiers and its characteristics comparing with conventional grout materials in fresh and sea water. It is found that the antiwashout underwater grout both in fresh and sea water has enough strength and good resistance to segregation.

The OFDM system have been widely studied for the purpose of increasing data rate with more reliable communications in underwater channel environments. And it is possible only when the sub-carrier's bandwidth is smaller than the coherence bandwidth of channel in the underwater OFDM communication system. However, the size of the FFT for the OFDM system will be increased because the coherence bandwidth is as small as several tens of Hz in real underwater channel environments. Also, It is necessary to add a CP having a length longer than the rms delay spread of a channel. So the complexity of the system is increased and the data efficiency is reduced. Therefore, in this paper, we have studied the increase of the coherence bandwidth by adapting the beamforming technologies. To do this, we have collected data from real underwater channel environments and analyzed the coherence bandwidth when adapting the beamforming technologies. Analyzing the experimental data show that the coherence bandwidth by the beamforming technologies in underwater channel environments was greatly increased compared to that of a single sensor.

우리나라 해역은 크게 동해, 서해와 남해로 나뉜다. 해역별 특성은 공간적 및 유체역학적으로 상이하여 해역별 수중거주시설의 설계에 있어 서로 다른 주요건과 시설구성을 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 거시적 수중주거시설 설계기술 연구의 일환으로서 특히 해역별 공간 특성을 잘 갖춘 3곳의 입지 후보지(동해:Phoenix point, 남해:South Brother point와 서해:Mud point)에 대하여 요구되는 해역별 설계 환경부하를 최근 태풍Haishen, 태풍Maysak과 태풍 Bavi의 기상 예측자료 및 관측자료를 통해 비교하고 가정한 건축목표(Phoenix point: 속초시에 탈탄소 전력공급, South Brother point:부산항 수소연료 비축기지 및 해상 수소충전소, Mud point:에너지 자립형 기후중립 수산양식 기지)에 부합하도록 시설구성을 제안함으로써 우리나라 연안의 천해와 심해에서의 수중거주 가능성을 조사했다.

The demand on the underwater communications is extremely increasing in searching for underwater resources, marine expedition, or environmental researches, yet there are many problems with the wireless communications because of the characteristics of the underwater environments. Especially, with the underwater wireless networks, there happen inevitable delay time and spacial inequality due to the distances between the nodes. To solve these problems, this paper suggests a new solution based on ALOHA-Q. The suggested method use random NAV value. and Environments take reward through communications success or fail. After then, The environments setting NAV value from reward. This model minimizes usage of energy and computing resources under the underwater wireless networks, and learns and setting NAV values through intense learning. The results of the simulations show that NAV values can be environmentally adopted and select best value to the circumstances, so the problems which are unnecessary delay times and spacial inequality can be solved. Result of simulations, NAV time decreasing 17.5% compared with original NAV.

In this paper, we analyzed Alamouti based the MIMO-OFDM system in an underwater vertical communication channels. These in consideration both the transmission loss the multipath loss which is suitable for underwater environment are necessary method to improve the efficiency and communication performance in underwater communication. This paper is modeled in an environment that caused the error, considered each simulated the multi-path loss, transmission loss, the Doppler spread in order to implement a practical communication environment and simulated through the MIMO-OFDM system of Alamouti STBC method. The MIMO-OFDM system 2Tx-2Rx of Alamouti STBC scheme in underwater vertical communication system is obtained about 3~5 dB gain as compare with its 2Tx-1Rx scheme with reference $10^{-3}$ BER.
