TAMUN: Transmission of Alert Messages in Underwater Networks

Underwater wireless communication is among the most demanding technologies. It is exceedingly difficult to transmit data properly over water that may be turbid or saturated with unwanted noise. Acoustics have shown to be the most dependable technique of transmitting crucial data in these severe conditions. Diving, archeological surveys, scientific discoveries, cable repairs etc. are a few instances which might require human intervention underwater. In an emergency situation underwater, alert messages play an important role. If the alert message does not reach the concerned authorities in an appropriate time, it can be disastrous. Transmission of alert messages in underwater networks (TAMUN) is an alert system developed to make sure the alert message travels from the source to the destination by finding the next shortest distance the message can travel and re-routing to find the next shortest distance if there are any anomalies detected in the message path.
