Vision of IoUT: advances and future trends in optical wireless communication

Oceans cover about 72 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. Owing to distinct incredible aquatic activities the Oceans remain unclear and deep-seated to investigate. “Underwater wireless communication” (UWC) plays an important role in sea species tracking, water contamination, oil and gas production, natural hazard control, maritime security, naval military activities, and in detecting improvements in the aquatic environment. To achieve these applications in an efficient way, a new era name Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is introduced. IoUT is a scientific development that could bring a new phase for research, business, and underwater military applications. It also severs as an important feature of 5G and 6G networking systems. The up-coming fifth (5G)- and sixth (6G)-generation connectivity networks are supposed to make tremendous improvement relative to the current fourth-generation systems with some essential and general problems about 5G coverage performance, 6G and high-ability networking networks, huge coverage, low latency, high protection, low power usage, strong knowledge, and stable networking. To encounter the obstacles in 5G networks, innovations like optical (OWC) communication by means of wireless means is utilized. Innovations such as optical wireless communication (OWC) are used to tackle the obstacles in 5G networks. OWC is a better employee for operation in 5G network specifications than other wireless technologies. This paper explains how the OWC strategy would be the best and most effective approach to effectively implement 5G, 6G, and IoUT networks.
