Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and
undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often …

The recent uptake of non-acoustic underwater transmission systems suggests that in the
near future it will be common for underwater devices to incorporate different physical …

Nowadays, the increasing availability of commercial off-the-shelf underwater acoustic and
non-acoustic (eg, optical and electromagnetic) modems that can be employed for both short …

The DESERT Underwater emulation system (http://nautilus. dei. unipd. it/desert-underwater),
originally designed for testing underwater acoustic networks, has been recently extended …

In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning-based adaptive modulation and coding
scheme for underwater communications; more specifically, based on the network states …

Wireless transmissions in water are mostly carried out via long-range (but low-rate)
underwater acoustic communications, or short-range (but high-rate) underwater optical …

The underwater acoustic channel exhibits many challenges for communications. Since the
underwater environment is becoming crowded with both static and mobile users, additional …

Inspection of quay walls and ship hulls is necessary to assess the status of the structure,
identifying potential deterioration which may compromise the safety of port and ship …

In an autonomous underwater vehicles–(AUVs–) based optical‐acoustic hybrid network, it is
critical to achieve ultra high‐speed reliable communications, in order to reap the benefits of …

Adaptive modulation techniques which use different modulation methods to match time-
varying channel-state information (CSI) are widely used to improve the robustness of …
