Description

The advances of green wireless networks have brought an alternative energy for maritime wideband networks, which could significantly reduce the expense of maritime wideband networks construction and maintenance. However, it has not considered the energy issues in the network scenario. Maritime wireless communication network is emerging as one of the important information transmission systems. Generally, the transmissions in maritime wireless networks can be classified into two types: terrestrial and satellite communication. By utilizing the legacy analog high-frequency/medium-frequency and very high frequency radios, long-range/medium-range or short-range ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship communications near port water can be enabled, respectively. This project proposes a green energy and content-aware data transmission framework that incorporates the energy limitation of both infostations and delay-tolerant network throw boxes. It can provide simple yet efficient solutions in a maritime wireless communication network with sustainable energy.
