Localization in underwater sensor networks

Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Underwater networks - WUWNet '06, 2006
In underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), determining the location of every sensor is important and the process of estimating the location of each node in a sensor network is known as localization. While various localization algorithms have been proposed for terrestrial sensor networks, there are relatively few localization schemes for UWSNs.

UWSim: A Simulator for Underwater Sensor Networks

SIMULATION, 2008
We present a new simulator for Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN), named UWSim. Most of the currently available simulators focus greatly on ground-based sensor and ad hoc networks; they do not consider the factors that affect the underwater communication. UWSim, on the other hand, has its focus on handling scenarios specific to UWSN environments.

An overview on Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications, 2010
Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UW-ASNs) is of growing research interest. This paper gives description on underwater channel model. It overviews transmission schemes in data link layer and network layer, and simulates different transmission schemes. Finally, it offers comparison and guides for future development.

Underwater Wireless Hybrid Sensor Networks

2008 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications, 2008
Underwater sensor networks (USNs) promise innovative and exciting applications, viz. oceanographic data collection, environment monitoring, exploration, and tactical surveillance. Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) though pose significant research challenges due to the harsh underwater environment.

Challenges and opportunities for underwater sensor networks

2016 12th International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT), 2016
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are distributed event-based systems comprising of tiny nodes capable of sensing the environmental phenomena with a limited battery, low pro­cessing power and short-range radio for communication. Most of the applications of sensor network are concerned with sensing scalar sensor such as temperature, pressure, humidity, or ...

The Redeployment Issue in Underwater Sensor Networks

IEEE GLOBECOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2008
The mobility of underwater sensor nodes makes the network topology inconveniently controlled and slowly changed. Thus, in order to enable underwater sensor networks to work more effectively, it is necessary for us to periodically detect the coverage rate and redeploy nodes to non-coverage areas.

Pressure Routing for Underwater Sensor Networks

2010 Proceedings IEEE INFOCOM, 2010
A SEA Swarm (Sensor Equipped Aquatic Swarm) is a sensor "cloud" that drifts with water currents and enables 4D (space and time) monitoring of local underwater events such as contaminants, marine life and intruders. The swarm is escorted at the surface by drifting sonobuoys that collect the data from underwater sensors via acoustic modems and report it ...

A Survey on Sensor Deployment in Underwater Sensor Networks

2014
Underwater sensor networks are becoming a new field, mainly applied for ocean data collection, ocean sampling, environmental and pollution monitoring, etc. Similar to terrestrial sensor networks, it is essential to provide communication coverage in such a way that the whole monitoring area is covered by the sensor nodes in UWSN.

Network coding in Underwater Sensor Networks

2013 MTS/IEEE OCEANS - Bergen, 2013
In this paper, we expand upon previous work in the application of network coding to Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN). Network coding allows information from multiple packets to be encoded into a single packet and decoded upon receiving sufficient linearly independent encoded packets, improving throughput and providing redundancy for error recovery ...

Simulation of underwater sensor networks

Oceans '99. MTS/IEEE. Riding the Crest into the 21st Century. Conference and Exhibition. Conference Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.99CH37008), 2003
This paper highlights some of the key areas of investigation in the network design and analysis of the Deployable Autonomous Distributed System (DADS). DADS is an exploratory research program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. Simulation was essential in providing system trade-offs and parametric studies of critical system functions.
