Modeling UWSN Simulators – A Taxonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research article of modeling Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Simulators, we provide a comprehensive overview of the various currently available simulators used in UWSN modeling. In this work, we compare their working environment, software platform, simulation language, key features, limitations and corresponding applications. Based on extensive experimentation and performance analysis, we provide their efficiency for specific applications. We have also provided guidelines for developing protocols in different layers of the protocol stack, and finally these parameters are also compared and tabulated. This analysis is significant for researchers and designers to find the right simulator for their research activities. Keywords—Underwater Wireless Sensor networks (UWSN), SUNSET, NS2, OPNET, WOSS, DESERT, RECORDS, AquaSim, AquaNet Mate.

Distance based Routing Scheme for Underwater Sensor Networks
Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN) are gaining increasing importance. The main constituents of UWSN are Static Acoustic sensor nodes and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. The sensor nodes located in a particular depth are to pass the data to the sinks. As acoustic transmission range is limited, the information has to be routed via many hops. We are proposing a distance based routing scheme for suc...
متن کاملAnalyzing Routing Protocols for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Underwater sensor networks (UWSN) resemble terrestrial sensor networks in many aspects. However, the high propagation delay and limited bandwidth make terrestrial sensor network’s protocols unsuitable for UWSN. For instance, routing protocols proposed for terrestrial networks are not applicable in an underwater network. Therefore, enormous efforts have been made for designing efficient protocol...
متن کاملModeling and simulation of networked low-power embedded systems: a taxonomy
Simulation has been widely adopted for the evaluation of novel protocols or other designs for networked low-power embedded systems, especially for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A large number of simulation tools have been developed for WSNs in the past few years. However, different tools may emphasize on different features. For example, general network simulators mainly focus on the high-lev...
متن کاملSimulation Tools for Underwater Sensor Networks: A Survey
In underwater sensor network(UWSN) research, it is highly expensive to deploy a complete test bed involving complex network structure and data links to validate a network protocol or an algorithm. This practical challenge points to the need of a simulation environment which can reproduce the actual underwater scenario without the loss of generality. Since so many simulators are proposed for UWS...
متن کاملTowards a taxonomy of simulation tools for wireless sensor networks
Many limitations (e.g. complexity, cost, scalability and capability) make the analytical methods and physical testbeds improper to evaluate the performances of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Simulations can provide a good approximation at lower cost and in less time. Hence, a number of simulation tools for WSN have been developed in the past few years. However, different tools may emphasize o...
