1. A self-sustained node for underwater communication: A sensor with house electronics capable of transmitting and receiving acoustic signals for data communication.
2. The node will be equipped with required rechargeable battery. Power consumption calculations and corresponding requirement of battery will be specified to make this an independent node. Emphasis will be made towards energy efficient configuration.
3. Simple protocols for two node communication: Simple nodes such that two nodes can communicate seamlessly
4.Demonstration of real-time communication between two nodes.
5. Acoustic communication to work in sea conditions reliably.
