AI Article Synopsis
- Underwater environments create special challenges for networking, so researchers propose a new system just for underwater sensor networks (UWSNs).
- They conducted experiments to see how well this new system works in water and tested different ways to send data efficiently.
- The results showed that their new protocol performs well in key areas like speed, how many messages get delivered, and energy use, making it a great fit for underwater communication.
Article Abstract
The specific characteristics of underwater environments introduce new challenges for networking protocols. In this paper, a specialized architecture for underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) is proposed and evaluated. Experiments are conducted in order to analyze the suitability of this protocol for the subaquatic transmission medium. Moreover, different scheduling techniques are applied to the architecture in order to study their performance. In addition, given the harsh conditions of the underwater medium, different retransmission methods are combined with the scheduling techniques. Finally, simulation results illustrate the performance achievements of the proposed protocol in end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and energy consumption, showing that this protocol can be very suitable for the underwater medium.
