چکیده

WLAN technologies appear tailor-made for shipboard applications. Wireless technology holds the promise of freeing up manpower, reducing crew size while dramatically improving the way hull, mechanical and electrical systems and subsystems are designed, installed and maintained. This paper presents a process template to assist the information and process control technologist in successfully deploying today’s COTS WLAN systems. The paper focuses on an eight-step process that balances analytical modeling requirements with empirical surveys to qualify below deck noise, signal propagation and realistic connectivity expectations.

Performance Evaluation of CSMA/CA based High Rate WPAN Wireless Gateway for Ship Area Network

A typical ship area network provides wired instrument network connections and shipboard control networks. However, the need for high-speed data transmission services of instrument-to-instrument and machine-to-machine is essential for a high-cost valued digital ship. Thus, this paper proposes IEEE 802.15.3 based CSMA/CA high-rate wireless personal area network (HRWPAN) wireless gateway applicati...

On the Use of Wireless Technologies for Shipboard Monitoring Systems

International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communication (WPMC 2011) in Brest, France. Abstract: Current shipboard monitoring systems use extensive lengths of cables to connect sensors to control units. Replacing wired connections by wireless ones may be an efficient solution to reduce the ship weight and cost. Ships are characterized by a specific metallic environment which can se...

STCS-GAF: Spatio-Temporal Compressive Sensing in Wireless Sensor Networks- A GAF-Based Approach

Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...
