6G Communications And Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks: Exploring Key Features And Advancements

Abstract

The rapid advancements in wireless
communication have paved the way for the nextgeneration
6G networks, promising to overcome
the limitations of 5G.
With the potential to offer data rates up to 1 Tbps,
near-zero latency, and advanced AI integration,
6G aims to revolutionize various sectors, including
healthcare, smart cities, and underwater
monitoring.
Key features such as terahertz frequency
communication, intelligent reflecting surfaces
(IRS), and integrated sensing and communication
(ISAC) enhance coverage, efficiency, and security.
The synergy between 6G and Underwater Wireless
Sensor Networks (UWSNs) presents a promising
solution for real-time marine monitoring, disaster
management, and environmental conservation.
However, challenges such as energy efficiency,
signal absorption, and range limitations require
innovative solutions. AI-driven management,
advanced antenna design, and energy-efficient
devices are explored to address these issues.
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of
6G's capabilities, its integration with UWSNs, and
the potential applications and challenges that lie
ahead, highlighting the transformative impact of
6G technology on both terrestrial and underwater
communication networks.
