The communication range of underwater acoustic networks (UAN) is limited by the properties of underwater environment. Especially, the networks including small number of nodes have communication problems for long ranges. To challenge this problem, topology control in UAN is a promising solution. In this study, Topology Control Vector Based Forwarding Algorithm (TC-VBF) is proposed. The TC-VBF uses nodes' position to determine the forwarding vector. In this work, the TC-VBF is evaluated comparatively with alternative routing protocols.

Topology control vector based forwarding algorithm for underwater acoustic networks
Yazgı, İlkay; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
The communication range of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASN) is limited by the underwater environment. Acoustic networks with huge number of sensors may have long communication range with appropriate protocols in literature. On the other hand, especially, the networks including small number of nodes have communication problems for long ranges. To challenge this problem, topology control in underwater acoustic networks is a promising solution. In this study, a novel approach, Topology Control Vector...
Underwater channel modeling for sonar applications
Epçaçan, Erdal; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Underwater acoustic channel models have been studied in the context of communication and sonar applications. Acoustic propagation channel in an underwater environment exhibits multipath, time-variability and Doppler e ects. In this thesis, multipath fading channel models, underwater physical properties and sound propagation characteristics are studied. An underwater channel model for sonar applications is proposed. In the proposed model, the physical characteristics of underwater environment are considered ...
Performance evaluation of a new cross layer protocol for sink powered underwater acoustic sensor networks
Türken, Hasan; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
The term Sink Powered Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (SPUASN) refers to a special configuration within the recent Remotely Powered Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (RPUASN) paradigm, where the data sink supplies energy to battery-free sensors that constitute the network. This thesis evaluates the performance of a new cross layer protocol, Cross Layer Power Adaptive CSMA/CA (X-PACCA), proposed for SPUASN. Simulation based performance evaluation is conducted both by investigating the effects of design...
Self-deployment of mobile underwater acoustic sensor networks for maximized coverage and guaranteed connectivity
ŞENEL, FATİH; Akkaya, Kemal; Erol-Kantarci, Melike; Yilmaz, Turgay (2015-11-01)
Self-deployment of sensors with maximized coverage in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWASNs) is challenging due to difficulty of access to 3-D underwater environments. The problem is further compounded if the connectivity of the final network is desired. One possible approach to this problem is to drop the sensors on the water surface and then move them to certain depths in the water to maximize the 3-0 coverage while maintaining the initial connectivity. In this paper, we propose a fully distributed ...
A Three Dimensional Localization Algorithm for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
Isik, M. Talha; Akan, Ozgur B. (2009-09-01)
Although many localization protocols have been proposed for terrestrial sensor networks in recent years, the unique characteristics of the underwater acoustic communication channel, such as high and variable propagation delay and the three dimensional volume of the environment make it necessary to design and develop new localization algorithms. In this paper, a localization algorithm called Three-Dimensional Underwater Localization (3DUL) is introduced. 3DUL achieves network-wide robust 3D localization by u...
