The study of Underwater Wireless Networks as a research field has grown significantly in recent years offering a multitude of proposal to resolve the communication between the nodes and protocols for information exchange networks. Acoustics has been used by nature for years to communicate in the underwater environment using it as a language, dolphins and whales for instance are able to use it t...

Anti-submarine warfare(ASW) is a critical challenge for maintaining a fleet presence in hostile areas. Technology advancement has allowed submarines to evade standard sonar detection. A viable alternative is to place magnetic or acoustic sensors in close proximity to possible underwater pathways of submarines. This approach may require deploying large-scale underwater sensor networks to form 3-...

WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks), one of the most popular topics in wireless and mobile networking, is gaining much interest as an innovative technology in the near future. Especially in UW-ASN (UnderWater-Acoustic Sensor Network), there are many potential applications that can be provided through the networks such as ocean sampling network, environment monitoring, undersea exploration, disaster ...

Localization is an important topic in the underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) because sensor nodes are randomly scattered over a region and can get connected into a network on their own. In this paper, we proposed an improved correction localization algorithm based on wave direction spectrum for underwater wireless sensor networks. First, we use the length of anchor nodes and depth of no...

This article handles building underwater sensor networks autonomously using multiple surface ships. For in 3D workspace with many obstacles, this considers ships dropping robots into the workspace. We assume that every robot is heterogeneous, such each can have a distinct sensing range while moving speed. The proposed strategy works by single at time to spread out until cluttered fully covered ...
