Ocean wave measurement data provide critical information to a variety of applications, such as marine**transport, aquaculture, infrastructure design, oceanographic research, marine safety, etc. MarineLabs is one of**the leading companies providing real time wave monitoring and data analysis services from fleets of their**compact, cloud-connected, buoys for groups and industries who need to know marine conditions. The company**has developed a new generation of IoT wave sensors named mWave: a compact and cost effective wave**measurement solution, that is world leading in the marketplace.**This project aims to improve the wireless transmission component of the wave sensing solution for real time**delivery of the data. The wide area communications requirement in this marine IoT application is challenging:**high data throughput with high reliability, low power consumption for battery operation over several months,**and rhythmic ocean wave blocking the radio transmission path regularly. This project will troubleshoot the low**transmission efficiency problem in the current system, and design new solutions that meet the communications**requirement of the wave sensing system using the latest cellular technology for low power machine type**transmissions. The expected outcome will significantly enhance the data transmission capability of the wave**sensor product with low power consumption. Energy harvesting from natural sources to help extend the battery**life will also be investigated. The proposed research will help MarineLabs to quickly extend its product line to**an important and emerging market and enhance its mWave offerings, strengthening its market share in this**area.

海浪测量数据为海洋运输、水产养殖、基础设施设计、海洋学研究、海洋安全等各种应用提供关键信息。MarineLabs是一家领先的公司，为需要了解海洋状况的团体和行业提供实时波浪监测和数据分析服务，这些服务来自他们的小型云连接浮标船队。公司开发了名为mWave的新一代物联网波传感器：一种紧凑且具有成本效益的波测量解决方案，在市场上处于世界领先地位。该项目旨在改进波传感解决方案的无线传输组件，以实现数据的实时传输。这种海洋物联网应用中的广域通信要求具有挑战性：**具有高可靠性的高数据吞吐量，电池运行数月的低功耗，**以及有节奏的海浪定期阻挡无线电传输路径。本项目将解决当前系统中传输效率低的问题，并设计新的解决方案，使用最新的低功率机器类型传输的蜂窝技术来满足波感测系统的通信要求。预期结果将显著提高低功耗波传感器产品的数据传输能力。从自然资源中收集能量以帮助延长电池寿命也将进行研究。拟议的研究将帮助MarineLabs迅速将其产品线扩展到一个重要的新兴市场，并增强其mWave产品，加强其在该地区的市场份额。
