Communication System of e-Navigation Between Vessel and Shore Utilizing Representational State Transfer at Sea

Currently, maritime wireless communications have many limiting factors. In particular, a damping effect of wireless communication, a problem caused by fixed installations, and a distance from other nearby communication. Among the existing wireless communication, satellite communication is the most common communication method in terms of convenience compared to the distance. However, considering the domestic economic and communication environment conditions, it requires high cost to use. Therefore, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is developing efficient communication at sea in case of disaster by using Long Term Evaluation-Maritime (LTE-M), But in communication using only LTE-M, it is difficult to support perfectly in a disaster situation, and there are many difficulties in connection with communication such as Automation Identification System (AIS). In this paper, we propose a system that can support LTE-M without imposing much burden on existing system by configuring local network using LTE-M in the maritime disaster situation and expect contributing to the maritime wireless communication environment using the AIS system in LTE-M environment efficiently.
