    摘要: According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication apparatus including: a synchronizer configured to perform synchronization processing according to a Doppler shift on a reception signal; and an equalizer configured to perform equalization processing on a reception signal on which the synchronization processing has been performed, in which the synchronizer includes a correlator configured to output a correlation between a reception signal and a known preamble sequence and a correlation between the reception signal and a known postamble sequence, a slide correlator configured to output a sliding correlation based on an output of the correlator, and a Doppler estimator configured to estimate a Doppler shift based on the sliding correlation of the slide correlator

    摘要: A system where a large number of underwater devices can transmit their precise position relative to a fixed underwater beacon, by transmitting two short duration, precisely timed acoustic tones (pings). The arrival time of the pulses at the fixed underwater transceiver beacon will relay the transmitter's precise position relative to that beacon. The two pings code for two numbers; either the range and bearing or an X, Y coordinate of each object with respect to the beacon. Data messages can be sent to and received from the beacon, used for command, control and status. The pulses can be a single frequency and have duration of around a 1 ms and operate one or many frequencies to allow multiple cycles to be overlapped in time. This coding scheme allows many devices to send the data simultaneously in the cycle for group tracking from last position or as independent cycles for unambiguous tracking. The transducers used in the system can be omni-directional hydrophones. The tracking grid size is a function of the acoustic frequency chosen and range from 1000 m for 40 KHz and 6000 m for 8 kHz. The system requires that all nodes in the system keep precise synchronized time.

    摘要: This Application sets forth techniques for managing the cellular connectivity state of a submerged wireless device. The wireless device can include sensors that analyze environmental conditions to determine when the wireless device is (or is not) submerged underwater as well as at what depth the wireless device is submerged underwater. The sensors can also determine different types of aquatic activity in which a user of the wireless device is currently engaged, such as swimming, snorkeling, free diving, and scuba diving. In turn, the wireless device can utilize this information to manage its cellular connectivity state in order to avoid wasteful consumptions of energy. In particular, the techniques enable the submerged wireless device to eliminate any existing cellular connection as well as connection reattempts so long as they are unlikely to succeed. Moreover, the techniques enable the wireless device to execute connection reattempts when they are appropriate and likely to succeed.

    摘要: A method for use in controlling pressure based signal transmission within a fluid in a flowline includes transmitting a pressure based signal through a fluid within a flowline using a flow control device, recognising a condition change associated with the flowline, and then controlling the flow control device in accordance with the condition change. Another method, or an associated method for use in communication within a flowline includes determining or composing an optimised pressure based signal for detection at a remote location and then transmitting the optimised signal using a flow control device.
