These devices are equipped with sensing, processing, and communication capabilities deployed underwater for several specific applications. Most of these applications are multimedia coastal and tactical surveillance, picture and video acquisition and classification, offshore/oil exploration, pollution monitoring and reporting, military defence, oceanographic data collection, and search and rescue operations. These applications entail delay-sensitive and high data traffic as well as loss-sensitive traffic data. However, the underwater environment has unique characteristics and constraints such as high delay, increased error rate, low bandwidth, impaired channel due to multi-path and fading problems, high attenuation and high power consumption. To guarantee QoS of the high traffic data generated due to these applications; massive multi-input multi-output (Massive MIMO) system is considered as the best promising solution to enhance underwater communication for improved throughput/capacity, spectral and energy efficiency. © 2016 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85018266542&doi=10.1109%2fUSYS.2016.7893912&partnerID=40&md5=459889203d4b0c5fc54292591f855a40 id_number: 10.1109/USYS.2016.7893912 full_text_status: none publication: USYS 2016 - 2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Underwater System Technology: Theory and Applications pagerange: 159-164 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509057986 citation: Lawal, B. and Ali, S.S.A. and Awang, A.B.
