Abstract
With the rapid development of marine activities, there has been an increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices on the ocean. This leads to a growing demand for highspeed and ultra-reliable maritime communications. It has been reported that a large performance loss is often inevitable if the existing fourth-generation (4G), fifth-generation (5G) or satellite communication technologies are used directly on the ocean. Hence, conventional theories and methods need to be tailored to this maritime scenario to match its unique characteristics, such as dynamic electromagnetic propagation environments, geometrically limited available base station (BS) sites and rigorous service demands from mission-critical applications. Towards this end, we provide a survey on the demand for maritime communications enabled by state-of-the-art hybrid satellite-terrestrial maritime communication networks (MCNs). We categorize the enabling technologies into three types based on their aims: enhancing transmission efficiency, extending network coverage, and provisioning maritime-specific services. Future developments and open issues are also discussed. Based on this discussion, we envision the use of external auxiliary information, such as sea state and atmosphere conditions, to build up an environmentaware, service-driven, and integrated satellite-air-ground MCN.
