Development of Underwater Communication System Using Li-Fi Technology

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface and yet, effective communication in underwater environments has remained a formidable challenge. This research paper aims to address it by revolutionizing communication in underwater by harnessing the power of Visible Light Communication, commonly known as Light Fidelity to develop and implement a novel underwater communication system based on Visible Light Communication technology, to offer high-speed and reliable data transmission beneath the ocean's surface. The communication distance typically ranges from a few meters to up to 100 meters, depending on various factors such as water clarity, environmental conditions and sensitivity of the Light Fidelity transmitters and receivers used. The system will integrate resilient communication protocols and undergo extensive testing to evaluate its performance in various underwater scenarios, with a focus on optimizing data transfer speeds for high-speed underwater communication. Comprehensive field tests in real underwater environments will demonstrate the effectiveness, with hardware results communicated by means of data analysis and potentially live demonstrations, depending on the scope and resources.
