Abstract
A subsea telecommunication system that includes a first acoustic modem that couples to a first vehicle and communicates acoustically. A second acoustic modem couples to a second vehicle and communicates acoustically with the first acoustic modem. A first computer system receives an environmental parameter and updates a physical layer parameter of the subsea telecommunication system in real time in response to the environmental parameter.
Claims20
A subsea telecommunication system, comprising:
- a first acoustic modem configured to couple to a first vehicle and to communicate acoustically;
- a second acoustic modem configured to couple to a second vehicle and to communicate acoustically with the first acoustic modem;
- and
- a first computer system configured to receive an environmental parameter and to update a physical layer parameter of the subsea telecommunication system in real time in response to the environmental parameter.
1 more element
A method of updating a subsea telecommunication system, the method comprising:
- measuring one or more environmental parameters;
- characterizing a noise channel in response to the one or more environmental parameters;
- characterizing an acoustic communication channel in response to the one or more environmental parameters;
- conducting a communication performance simulation with the characterized noise channel and the acoustic communication channel;
- determining a physical layer parameter in response to the communication performance simulation;
- and
- transmitting the physical layer parameter to an underwater vehicle in real time during a mission.
4 more elements
A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory system including one or more non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor cause the computing system to:
- characterize a noise channel in response to one or more environmental parameters;
- characterize a subsea acoustic communication channel in response to the one or more environmental parameters;
- conduct a communication performance simulation with the characterized noise channel and the subsea acoustic communication channel;
- determine a physical layer parameter in response to the communication performance simulation;
- and
- transmit the physical layer parameter to an underwater vehicle in real time during a mission.
