Рассмотрены основные проблемы создания сетевой подводной связи, основное отличие которой от традиционной гидроакустической связи состоит в одновременном информационном взаимодействии большого числа пространственно разнесенных абонентов, включающем обмен сообщениями между ними и их высокоточное позиционирование. Этот факт добавляет к существующим проблемам традиционной гидроакустической связи, обусловленным в основном сложностью и изменчивостью гидроакустического канала распространения сигнала, ряд других, например, коллизии в сети, возникающие при одновременной передаче сообщений несколькими абонентами и требующие принятия специальных организационно-технических мер по их устранению (минимизации), а также обусловленную особенностями гидроакустической среды сложную конфигурацию зон парной взаимной «слышимости» абонентов, что ведет к необходимости нетривиальной маршрутизации потоков данных от источника к получателю. В работе показано, что решить эти вопросы может разработка методов формирования и излучения сигналов связи, которые затем трансформируются в протоколы взаимодействия абонентов при передаче и приеме сообщений и реализуются в цифровых гидроакустических модемах, в результате превратившихся в сложные радиоэлектронные устройства.

The paper addresses the main problems related to the development of underwater communication network which differs from the traditional underwater acoustic communication in simultaneous information interoperability of a large number of spatially separated nodes, including data exchange between them, as well as their highprecision positioning. While the problems of traditional acoustic communication are generally associated with the complexity and variability of acoustic channel for signal propagation, the underwater communication network faces a numer of additional significant problems such as collisions in the network, occurring during simultaneous transmission of messages from several nodes and requiring special managerial and engineering measures for their elimination (mitigation); another problem is complex configuration of the zones of binary mutual “audibility” of nodes, caused by specific features of underwater acoustic environment and requiring the nontrivial routing of data flows from source to recipient. It is demonstrated in the paper that these problems can be solved by developing the techniques of communication signals generation and emission, which then form the protocols of nodes’ interaction during transmission and receipt of messages, and are implemented in digital acoustic modems that have ultimately developed into complex radio-electronic devices.
