The DESERT Underwater framework (http://desertunderwater.dei.unipd.it/), originally designed for simulating and testing underwater acoustic networks in sea trials, has recently been extended to support real payload data transmission through underwater multimodal networks. Specifically, the new version of the framework is now able to transmit data in real time through the EvoLogics S2C low-rate and high-rate acoustic modems, the SmartPORT low-cost acoustic underwater modem prototype (AHOI) for IoT applications, as well as Ethernet, surface WiFi, and the BlueComm optical modem. The system can also be tested in the lab by employing a simulated channel, and the EvoLogics S2C DMAC Emulator (DMACE).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
