UWA-NAV - Energy Efficient Error Control Scheme for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. Since there are various disturbing factors such as long propagation delay and high error rate in UW-ASN, an error control mechanism is required to improve the system performance efficiently. In this paper, the carrier sensing technique, which detects whether the public media access is already occupied or not and evade the collision, is used as an error control mechanism. A method of monitoring the energy level of wireless frequency in physical layers and a method of setting-up NAV (Network Allocation Vector) using the frame transmission period were modified and re-defined for underwater environment. Through these works, a more efficient UWA-NAV technique was able to be proposed and the performance of the proposed technique was evaluated and compared with the case without UWA-NAV.

Efficient error recovery with network coding in underwater sensor networks
Before the wide deployment of underwater sensor networks becomes a reality, one challenge to be met is efficient error recovery in the presence of high error probability, long propagation delays and low acoustic bandwidth. We believe that network coding is a promising technique for this purpose due to Eq. (1) the computational capability of underwater sensor nodes, and Eq. (2) the broadcast nat...

In this paper a new method to improve performance of cooperative underwater acoustic (UWA) sensor networks will be introduced. The method is based on controlling and optimizing carrier frequencies which are used in data links between network nods. In UWA channels Pathloss and noise power spectrum density (psd) are related to carrier frequency. Therefore, unlike radio communications, in UWA Comm...
