UnderwAter optical wireless communication network architecture empowered by adVanced opticAl materiaLs for sea bOrder protection and deep-sea exploratioN
AVALON objective and pillars
To bring the 6G Quality of Experience to Underwater Military Communications
Pillar I
Beyond Shannon reliable and energy efficient underwater communications with sensing capabilities that reach the Cramer-Rao bound through optical wireless links and energy harvesting.
Pillar II
Going beyond the underwater line-of-sight while achieving the 7 nines in system’s reliability and fulfilling the 100 m dream.
Pillar III
Reaching the Pareto optimal through machine learning (ML)-based autonomous operation and pro-active optimization.
