The Practicality of the Internet of Underwater Things: MATLAB & Simulink AUV Application IoT

Abstract

As Oceans cover approximately 72% of the Earth's surface, it is imperative to extend the Internet of Things (IoT) principles to the existing bodies, paving the way for a new digital trend: the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT). The IoUT refers to the worldwide network of smart interconnected underwater objects, which enhances monitoring unexplored and vast water areas. It enables various applications like environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, and underground exploration. The Internet of Underground things with such applications is among the leading applied technologies in smart cities. This paper aims to focus specifically on determining the potential applications of the IoUT applications, which can help in examining the challenges that are and will be faced during its modeling and implementation. The study aims to investigate the challenges of designing and implementing such a network. The research includes communication networks and MATLAB & Simulink simulation. Based on previous reviews, an optimal network of IoUT enhances the development and integration of various systems for the robust evaluation of water ecosystems. The study's outcomes include a tested AUV simulation model, which is a crucial part of an IoUT system that can be adjusted to suit local water conditions. The idea of IoUT should be embraced due to its positive impact on social and economic factors.
