Monte Carlo–based channel estimation and performance evaluation for UWOC links under geometric losses

Underwater wireless optical communication has been studied and proposed as a potential technology for various underwater applications including monitoring and surveillance using wireless sensor networks. In this context, we present a statistical model using an exhaustive Monte Carlo approach for an underwater wireless optical communication link between sensor nodes in a data mulling environment. This work provides insights into the science of photon transport underwater, its utilization in a communication system, evaluation, and optimization of underwater communication. We characterize the temporal channel behavior taking into account multiple scattering of photons involving the constraints of detector aperture diameter, field‐of‐view (FOV), and link distance for an aligned point‐to‐point link. We analyze the designed model in terms of total received power and bit error rate for clear ocean waters. Our simulation results show that the detector aperture and FOV has an impact towards a successful communication in the distance from 5 to 20 m. In addition, results show that the FOV is an affecting factor only in the presence of larger aperture sizes of the detector.

Performance Evaluation of Short Range Underwater Optical Wireless Communications for Different Ocean Water Types

This paper has presented our interesting in wireless underwater communications for different ocean water types. Recent interest in ocean exploration has brought about a desire for developing wireless communication techniques in this challenging environment. Due to its high attenuation in water, a radio frequency (RF) carrier is not the optimum choice. Acoustic techniques have made tremendous progress in establishing wireless underwater links, but they are ultimately limited in bandwidth. In traditional communication systems, constructing a link budget is often relatively straight forward. In the case of underwater optical systems the variations in the optical properties of ocean water lead to interesting problems when considering the feasibility and reliability of underwater optical links. The main focus of this paper is to construct an underwater link budget which includes the effects of scattering and absorption of realistic ocean water. As well as we have developed the underwater optical wireless communication systems to have shorter ranges, that can provide higher bandwidth (up to several hundred Mbit/s) communications by the assistant of exciting high brightness blue LED sources, and laser diodes suggest that high speed optical links can be viable for short range application. The received signal power, signal to noise ratio, bit error rate, transmitted signal bandwidth, and transmission bit rates are the major interesting parameters for different ocean water mediums as a criteria of the best signal transmission characteristics of short wireless optical communications over wide range of the affecting parameters.     

The statistics for the detection of light by nonideal photomultipliers

The detection of low-level optical frequency radiation, such as that encountered in laser communication systems, is often accomplished with a photomultiplier tube. The photomultiplication process, however, is itself a random process. In this paper a formula for the statistics of the number of electrons afterkstages is derived in the form of a recurrence relation. A Polya distribution is assumed as a model for each stage, and the probability of error for a laser communication system is examined in terms of the Polyab-parameter and the gain per stage. A simple closed-form expression for the decibel loss as a function of the photomultiplier parameters is also derived.
