Handover Protocol in Ad-hoc Diver Networks using Visual Light Communication

During a deep sea diving, divers need a reliable network for dealing with emergencies and packet loss when communicating, so the ad-hoc infrastructure was proposed and could be implemented for a strong connection between diver's devices, however each diver in the underwater network is free to move independently in any direction, and will, therefore, change frequently its links towards other underwater nodes, reason why the handover mechanism is needed to ensure the quality of service, handle the ongoing data session while the diver's device is mobile or facing a signal degradation.
