Energy Efficient and Reliable Communication in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
Normally, the communication in the earth surface is through electromagnetic or radio waves. But this is not possible in the underwater environments in an efficient way. In underwater environments radio does not work well due to its quick attenuation in water. Hence the acoustic signals are sent using the acoustic channels. If the communication is done with retransmission, it gives rise to the p...
متن کاملEnvironmental Communication Optimization in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
In Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) maintaining communication integrity is a significant challenge. This is largely due to the adverse physical properties of the medium of communication. The acoustic properties of an underwater environment change significantly with variations in weather. Despite these variations, the typical environment of an UASN remains highly reverberant and prone...
متن کاملLoad-Balanced Virtual Backbone Construction for Wireless Sensor Networks
Virtual Backbones (VBs) are expected to bring substantial benefits to routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Connected Dominating Sets (CDSs) based VBs are competitive approaches among the existing methods used to establish VBs in WSNs. Most existing works focus on constructing Minimum-sized CDSs (MCDSs). However, few works consider the load-balance factor. In this work, the size and the l...
متن کاملAn Ultrasonic Sensor Based Low-Power Acoustic Modem for Underwater Communication in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Applications of underwater sensor networks involve environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, and resource detection. As the importance of these applications has recently grown, underwater sensor networks made up of sensor nodes have to be further investigated. However, little research has been performed to develop an underwater sensor node with communication functionality. In an underwater...
متن کاملReal-Time Communication Support for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks †
Underwater sensor networks represent an important and promising field of research due to the large diversity of underwater ubiquitous applications that can be supported by these networks, e.g., systems that deliver tsunami and oil spill warnings, or monitor submarine ecosystems. Most of these monitoring and warning systems require real-time communication in wide area networks that have a low de...
