Abstract:
Mission-critical applications in underwater commu
nication need to handle data transfer with high reliability and
low latency. Moreover, coverage of a large number of underwater
sensors gains significance in harsh aquatic environments. These
goals can be fulfilled by deploying simultaneously transmitting
and reflecting optical reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR
ORIS), which can enhance the coverage, reliability, and security.
However, data broadcasting in underwater optical wireless com
munication (UOWC) by deploying STAR-ORIS remains a concern
since optical signals are highly directional. Hence, we propose a
multiple STAR-ORIS aided UOWC system, for which we perform
design of a STAR-ORIS prototype and conduct experimental
validation of the broadcasting system in terms of bit error rate
(BER). The experimental results reveal that the proposed system
requires only half or less than half of the transmit power to
achieve the same BER performance as that of a single STAR
ORIS-aided UOWC system.
