“…In order to deal with a resource utilization issue, Wang et al proposed Spray and Wait [11], in which only a limited number of message copies are replicated among nodes. One improvement in DTN for vehicles is MaxProp [12], where priority is given to nodes on some criterion and also messages are also characterized while forwarding.…”

“…One of the important factors affecting wireless communication is antenna capabilities. In [12], the authors proposed a scheme called Sweeper that considers a central node with an adaptive directional antenna array. This antenna array forms a beam in a specific direction and width, called downlink, which implies that the central node can communicate with the normal underwater sensor nodes within the specific region.…”

Similar to terrestrial networks, underwater wireless networks (UWNs) also aid several critical tasks including coastal surveillance, underwater pollution detection, and other maritime applications. Currently, once underwater sensor nodes are deployed at different levels of the sea, it is nearly impossible or very expensive to reconfigure the hardware, for example, battery. Taking this issue into account, considerable amount of research has been carried out to ensure minimum energy costs and reliable communication between underwater nodes and base stations. As a result, several different network protocols were proposed for UWN, including MAC, PHY, transport, and routing. Recently, a new paradigm was introduced claiming that the intermittent nature of acoustic channel and signal resulted in designing delay tolerant routing schemes for the UWN, known as an underwater delay tolerant network. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of underwater routing protocols with emphasis on the limitations, challenges, and future open issues in the context of delay tolerant network routing.

The work performed in [15][16][17] reveal that underwater MTC devices have predictable mobility patterns that are determined by different environmental phenomenon such as salinity, temperature, pressure. Efficient (accurate) localization such as scalable localization scheme with mobility prediction (SLMP) [18] has been introduced based on these mobility patterns.…”

Localizing machine-type communication (MTC) devices or sensors is becoming important because of the increasing popularity of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication networks for location-based applications. These include such as health monitoring, rescue operations, vehicle tracking, and wildfire monitoring. Moreover, efficient localization approaches for sensor-based MTC devices reduce the localization error and energy consumption of MTC devices. Because sensors are used as an integral part of M2M communication networks and have achieved popularity in underwater applications, research is being conducted on sensor localization in both underwater and terrestrial M2M networks. Major challenges in designing underwater localization techniques are the lack of good radio signal propagation in underwater, sensor mobility management, and ensuring network coverage in 3D underwater M2M networks. Similarly, predicting the mobility pattern of MTC devices, trading-off energy consumption and location accuracy pose great design challenges for terrestrial localization techniques. This article presents a comprehensive survey on the current state-of-the-art research on both terrestrial and underwater localization approaches for sensor-based MTC devices. It also classifies localization approaches based on several factors, identifies their limitations with potential solutions, and compares them.

We have been developing a wireless sensor network system to support coral ecological system survey activities. This paper studies the required functions of a wireless sensor node for gathering information on underwater environmental conditions. For this purpose, a prototype sensor node is developed to clarify necessary functions through a practical experiment. In this paper, the hardware configuration of a latest prototype of wireless sensor node is described. The design of this prototype was based on our previous experiments and the comments of coral reef researchers. We conducted practical field experiments to observe the coral reefs along the Okinawa coast in Japan by using the prototype. Moreover, a browsing system of gathered information by the sensor network is described. Finally, we discuss the experimental results and the required functions of the sensor node for the future research.
