Anti-malicious Interference Technology for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks: Applications and Recent Advances

Abstract

Underwater wireless sensor networks(UWSNs) are being increasingly used in marine development and other fields, but the open channels of their underwater acoustic communication makes UWSNs vulnerable to various malicious underwater interferences. Therefore, anti-interference communication technology is used to effectively improve the communication reliability of UWSNs. Accordingly, this study first introduces the development process and status of anti-interference communication technology and analyzes the law governing its development. Second, the main anti-interference communication technology used for UWSNs and the requirements of this technology are analyzed. Finally, the prospects for UWSN anti-interference communication technology are investigated.
