Abstract : Underwater acoustic networking is a new technology tool that can be used for oceanographic collection of data, emissions control, off shore exploration, and navigation. Communication in UWSNs is challenging and transmission of multimedia data becomes more difficult due to the peculiar features of the underwater network. During military emergency transferring multimedia data becomes crucial so as to get the proper knowledge about the situation. Therefore, this paper has proposed a simulation based mechanism for transmitting multimedia data in an underwater terrain. Acoustic waves have been used for the transmission. Multimedia data includes images and videos and for that we have taken four scenarios comprises of low quality image, high quality image, low quality video and high quality video. The simulation result shows that low quality image is most suitable in the underwater terrain.
