Title: Underwater transceiver device, underwater communication system and related communication method
Inventor: AHOLA TOM
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2013-09-20
Abstract: The invention concerns an underwater transceiver device, communications system and method of communicating sensor data underwater. The transceiver device is connected to a sensor unit and wirelessly transmits a sensor value to another underwater device as data packets according to a timeslotted timing scheme. According to the invention, the transceiver further comprises means for wirelessly receiving data packets from other underwater devices, and means for adjusting the timing scheme based on data packets received so as to avoid simultaneous transmitting of underwater devices. The transceiver may receive a synchronisation order and a timeslot allocation from a master device monitoring unit. If a master device is not found, the transceiver may synchronise its timing scheme based on a packet received from another transceiver such that they each transmit in successive timeslots. The invention enables energy-efficient and robust communications between diving equipment gas tanks and a wrist-worn or diving mask mounted monitoring device.
