| Abstract | Currently, the coastal communication is mainly provided by satellite networks, which are expensive with low transmission rate and unable to support underwater communication efficiently. In this work, we propose a communication architecture for coastal network based on long term evolution (LTE) cellular networks in which a cellular network architecture is designed for the maritime communication scenario. Some key technologies of next-generation cellular networks such as device-to-device (D2D) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) are integrated into the proposed architecture to support more efficient data transmission. In addition, over-water nodes aid the transmission of underwater network to improve the communication quality. With the proposed communication architecture, the coastal network can provide high-quality communication service to traffics with different quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. |
