A Study on Underwater based Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

A lot of researchers lately have attained the attention of Wireless Sensor Networks. On the other hand, when measures it up to the terrestrial or global WSN, Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN) depicts an innovative networking standard. The exploitation of Underwater Sensor Networks is not simple or clear-cut, fundamental defies are therefore required to be mapped just because the sort of settings of underwater. This research article has illustrated a contrast between two sorts of sensor networks. Furthermore we also discussed the vital defies, facets of Underwater sensors comprising their protocols and architectures and future research prospects.

Review on research challenges and strategies in underwater sensor networks

“…It refers to the time lag between the departure of a signal from the source and the arrival of the signal at the destination [4,31]. Many built in properties of acoustic channel are harmful transmission process, such as the long propagation delay.…”

“…As we know Underwater Sensor Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks are not similar just because of the distinctive individuality of water, there is a great chance of applying convinced aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks research to Underwater Sensor Networks. The core diversities or dissimilarities between Underwater Sensor Networks and Wireless Sensor Network shows in the following table [4]. Doppler frequency shift is generally different from path to path when signal reaches at the network receiver.…”

“…From the past few years wireless networking is used as a mean of information sharing but in under water we can"t use it because wired networking in underwater is not feasible in all conditions. The utilization of Underwater Sensor Networks is not so easy, fundamental defies are therefore required to be mapped just because the sort of settings of underwater [4,36] [37]. In the recent years, Underwater Sensor Networks have attracted attention from the research and engineering community because of its growing list of applications.…”
