A Network Layer Protocol for UANs to Address Propagation Delay Induced Performance Limitations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a description of a novel network layer protocol for underwater acoustic networking (UAN) that provides a mechanism for network control and management enabling the implementation of responsive, self-configuring, adaptable, and scalable networks whose performance are predictable. The protocol draws from the demonstrated efficiencies of multi-protocol labeled switching, dynamic source routing, and multi-constraint based resource allocation schemes. The paper describes the expected benefits of establishing full duplex functionality between network nodes and presents some of the preliminary simulation findings regarding the viability of autonomously determining the network topology utilizing the full duplex node connections.

Pipelined Transmission MAC for String Underwater Acoustic Networks
Despite effort spent over past years, an efficient MAC protocol design is still a challenging issue in underwater acoustic networks (UANs) mostly due to two factors: first, the long propagation delay of the acoustic signal in underwater environment; and second, the high variability of the environment. In this paper, we introduce a new MAC protocol for string UANs called Pipelined Transmission M...

متن کاملChallenges: Building Scalable and Distributed Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) for Aquatic Applications
Large-scale Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) is a novel networking paradigm to explore the uninhabited and complex oceans. However, the characteristics of UWSNs, such as huge propagation delay, floating node mobility, and limited acoustic link capacity, are significantly different from ground-based wireless sensor networks and existing small scale Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs). T...

متن کاملPrediction of Permanent Earthquake-Induced Deformation in Earth Dams and Embankments Using Artificial Neural Networks
This research intends to develop a method based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. For this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. In order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...
