The full-day workshop on U-CAN aims to bring together researchers and software and hardware developers from academia and industry to present, share and discuss their latest research results. High technical quality papers will be solicited to be presented at the Workshop.
Topics of Interest - includes (contributions are not limited to the following):
• Channel modelling and attenuation models (acoustic and optical)
• Channel capacity analysis (acoustic and optical)
• Diversity techniques for UWC (acoustic and optical)
• Dimming, data communications and localisation in underwater OWC systems
