Abstract

Subsea is a challenging environment for wireless communication due to that the propagation medium is no longer air, but different densities of water, soil in the seabed, iceberg, and rock. The most popular underwater wireless communication technique using acoustic wave does not work well for that the transmission speeds show different characteristics in the underwater environment. In this paper, the principle for magnetic wireless communication is analyzed. Meanwhile, transmission loss between tranceivers is investigated based on the analysis. The simulation model of the MI wireless communication is built based on the theoretical analysis. The simulation result shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed magnetic induction wireless communication model.
