Localization and Synchronization for 3D Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-dimensional Under-Water Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWASN) are supposed to be deployed for many applications. However, a protocol for sensors’ self-localization and time-synchronization in UWASN remains a challenge problem. In this paper, we developed a multilateration algorithm which could reliably localize and synchronize underwater sensor networks by acoustic ranging. To our best knowledge, this is the first scheme which could achieve both them for 3D UWASN simultaneously. Simulation results are also given to illustrate its effectiveness.

Echoes from the deep - Communication scheduling, localization and time-synchronization in underwater acoustic sensor networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) caused a shift in the way things are monitored. While traditional monitoring was coarse-grained and offline, using WSNs allows fine-grained and real-time monitoring. While radio-based WSNs are growing out of the stage of research to commercialization and widespread adoption, commercial underwater monitoring is still in the stage of coarse-grained and offline moni...
متن کاملA Secure Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

We transform the 3D underwater positioning problem into its 2D counterpart via a projection technique that employs depth information available to underwater sensors. After showing that a non-degenerative projection preserves network localizability, we present a purely distributed localization scheme termed USP for underwater acoustic sensor networks. In USP, reference nodes are projected to the...
متن کاملLocalization Techniques and Their Challenges in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are widely used to explore aqueous environment. In UWSN, determining the location of sensor nodes is a critical issue. Sensed data is meaningful only when sensing node is localized. There are many techniques available for localization in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) but they are not applicable in UWSN. GPS signals cannot be used underwater for locali...
