Validation of underwater communication protocols
The last week of August was dedicated to testing a new methodology to validate underwater communication protocols.
We focused on waveforms relevant to the Subsea Wireless Group (SWiG).
All this was possible thanks to the strong collaboration within the underwater acoustic communication WP2 lead by FFI and the fieldwork work package (IF1) lead by IMR in the SFI-Smart Ocean.
The involved partners were IMR, NORCE, AkerBP and WSense.
The collaboration has been very fruitful so far and will be continued!
Kristian Nordlie (WSense), Concetta Baldone (WSense), and Beatrice Tomasi (NORCE) monitor the system performance and validate the communication protocols
Acoustic modems and test equipment are ready for deployment outside the IMR research station
