Abstract

This paper put forward a kind of hybrid 3G-VHF wide range communication system over buoys and offered latest research progress. Buoy to buoy, buoy to monitoring center has a self-organizing wide-area topology structure and each node can select or switch 3G or VHF protocol to communicate according to their signal receiving area. System test shows that it is an effective means to expand maritime ecological monitoring coverage with very low cost.
