Abstract

The present invention provides an underwater communication system capable of efficiently communicating with a plurality of sensor nodes by using a limited frequency in the water. The present invention has a hierarchical structure in which one underwater base station control station manages a plurality of underwater base stations in the water, and each underwater base station within a plurality of underwater base stations centrally manages a plurality of underwater sensor nodes. Furthermore, the present invention enables efficient underwater communication the underwater environment by using different frequencies, when the underwater base station control station performs the underwater communication with the plurality of underwater base stations, and when the underwater base stations perform the underwater communication with the plurality of underwater sensor nodes.
