Abstract :
In this work, a mathematical approach to the problem of modelling the underwater-to-air optical wireless channel is presented. The seawater interface has been considered as a plain monochromatic seawave where wind stress generates random variations on the surface. Furthermore, a quality of service (QoS) measurement is proposed, based on the received power estimations. After defining the mathematical formulation, a Monte Carlo Ray Tracing algorithm has been used to obtain simulation results at different scenarios.
