The proposed scheme divides the frequency band into two separate channels each used for control and data packets transmission. Considering the acoustic signal attenuation characteristics, higher frequency is used for data and lower frequency is used for control. And then, the data transmission power is controlled to escape the LIRC problem and simultaneously to save as much as possible. Furthermore with the separated channels, we can also reduce control-data packet collisions.","PeriodicalId":378624,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems","volume":"4 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115851682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these are the detection of pollution sources in ports, water-quality monitoring in lakes, and the support and protection of divers in context of disaster management. These tasks profit from online reporting and controlling as well as swarm interaction between the AUVs. For this purpose, communication is required. In this paper, we present a prototype of an acoustic modem that is (i) small enough to be carried by micro AUVs in the sub 10 L class, (ii) consumes little enough energy to not diminish operation times of its host, (iii) comes at an attractive unit cost of less than €600, and (iv) can reliably communicate at distances of 50m and more. Due to its modular build, the modem can be easily customized and is hence suitable as research platform to analyze, e.g., MAC and routing protocols. We present results of detailed real-world studies of its communication range, packet reception rate, and ranging accuracy.","PeriodicalId":378624,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detector processes two blocks separately, where the breakpoint is determined by the sample fractile. Simulations show that the proposed detector outperforms the Fractional Lower Order Moments (FLOM) and Cauchy detector under non-fading channels and Rayleigh fading channels. Besides, the low-computation complexity allows the proposed detector to be an attractive solution in the underwater cognitive acoustic (CA) system.","PeriodicalId":378624,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117049352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A good deployment strategy should make effective area as much as possible, according to resource allocation. A lot of research are focusing on sensor networks deployment optimization on the land. Underwater deployment Strategies has not achieved good effect because of the complexity of ocean environment. This paper provides a deployment optimization strategy for mobile nodes using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for UWASNs. This algorithm is based on simulation of birds swarm intelligence characteristics and aimed to solve the continuous variable optimization problem.

Recently, an under-ice MIMO acoustic communication experiment was conducted in shallow water which differs from previous works in that the water column was covered by about 40 centimeters thick sea ice. In this experiment, high frequency MIMO signals centered at 10 kHz were transmitted from a two-element source array to a four-element vertical receive array at 1km range. The unique under-ice acoustic propagation environment in shallow water seems naturally separate data streams from different transducers, but there is still co-channel interference. Time reversal followed by a single channel decision feedback equalizer is used in this paper to compensate for the inter-symbol interference and co-channel interference. It is demonstrated that this simple receiver scheme is good enough to realize robust performance using fewer hydrophones (i.e. 2) without the explicit use of complex co-channel interference cancelation algorithms such as parallel interference cancelation or serial interference cancelation. Two channel estimation algorithms based on least square and least mean square are also studied for MIMO communications in this paper and their performance are compared using experimental data.","PeriodicalId":378624,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115592633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
