N2 - The earliest direct observation of gravitational waves was by LIGO in 2016, which is critical and leads to the confirmation of the preliminary speculations and theories related to gravitational waves. Ever since this detection and even before, physicists and engineers have advocated numerous methods to sense and generate gravitational waves. Moreover, such a discovery proposes the formation of an innovative means of information propagation owing to some similar characteristics of gravitational and electromagnetic waves. Therefore, gravitational wave communications offer a potential solution to the rise of congestion in the electromagnetic spectrum by expanding the capacity of communication systems. This survey paper explores the history of gravitational wave generation and reception from existing research such as papers, patents, and other publications following the postulation of general relativity. An overview of the documentation is presented, and various applications of gravitational wave communications are appraised. The practicality of such a futuristic communication system is analyzed by comparing the key features of both gravitational and electromagnetic waves and discussing their pros and cons.
