  1. A Survey of Practical Issues in Underwater Networks Jim Partan, Jim Kurose, and Brian Neil Levine, WUWNet’06 2007. 9. 20 Kim Taesung

  2. Contents • Introduction • Underwater network operating regimes • Physical layer • MAC Protocols • Mobility and sparsity • Energy efficiency • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Highlight differences between terrestrial radio sensor networks and underwater acoustic sensor networks • Characteristics of Underwater networks • More expensive equipment, higher mobility, sparer deployments, different energy regimes. A Secure Group Key Management Scheme for Wireless Cellular Network

  4. Application of Underwater Networks • Environmental Monitoring • pollution monitoring (chemical, biological, etc.), monitoring of ocean currents and winds, improved weather forecast, detecting climate change. • Disaster Prevention • measure seismic activity from remote locations and provide tsunami warnings to coastal areas. • Assisted Navigation • Sensors can be used to locate dangerous rocks or shoals • Distributed Tactical Surveillance. • Mine Reconnaissance

  5. Off-the-shelf oceanographic sensors Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD): $3k-$12k Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP): $25k Seismometer: $10k

  6. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Anchored sensors AUV

  7. Physical Layer • Underwater communication uses acoustics • 10kHz ~ 1MHz • Speed of sound underwater is 1500 m/s • Large propagation delays • Multipath interference is common • Frequency-dependent is generally time-varying, causing fading. • Shadow zones where almost no acoustic signal exists • This effect cause network connectivity dropouts.

  8. Technological Limitations • Communication is always half-duplex • Acoustic transducers cannot simultaneously transmit and receive. • AUVs can transmit at high data rates but harder for them to receive at high rates. • High data rate is 5k bits/sec at a range of 2Km • Low data rate is 80 bits/sec • Main reasons are the propulsion noise and difficulties in mounting receiver arrays. • The asymmetry in send and receive data rates • Star topologies with base stations.

  9. MAC Protocols • J.Rice describe Seaweb • Seaweb have used hybrid TDMA-CDMA • Deployment takes more than a day. • Covering region of over 100km2 • Freitag describe Mine Countermeasures(MCM) • A single hop, star-topology • 1 hour deployment, 5km2 • TDMA with low rate command and high rate data • Smith describe ad hoc network protocol based on CSMA/CD • Hidden terminal problem can be solved by MACA, MACAW and FAMA • Several people adopted these protocol in underwater networks • Park and Rodoplu adapt energy efficient protocol like S-MAC

  10. CDMA in underwater networks • CDMA is a conflict-free multiple access • Each user is assigned a different spreading code • Users can transmit packets without considering other are doing • This solve many of MAC problems • Near-far problem • Received power for each users was equal. • Closed-loop power control update in CDMA-based cell phone. • Power control is a difficult and open problem • Underwater networks have a time-varying, half-duplex channel with a low propagation speed.

  11. Mobility and Sparsity • Terrestrial sensor networks assume • Fairly dense, continuously connected coverage of an area using inexpensive, stationary nodes • Costs of underwater networks • Fabrication • An acoustic modem costs roughly $3K without sensors • The rugged construction required to survive storms. • Deployment • Research ships cost from $5k/day for a small coastal ship to $25k/day for a large ocean-going ship • Recovery • Since nodes are not disposable, recovery will remain a costly operation. • AUVs are a key element in most underwater network architetures • Due to the economics and flexibility

  12. Contention between navigation and data signals • Autonomous mobile vehicle need navigation information • This cannot be supplied by GPS • It is supplied by acoustic transponders • Need to share the channel between network communication and navigation signals. • Freitag described results from passive navigation systems. • Ouimet described broadcast ping packet • ICoN prioritorize navigation and communication packet • AUVs receive adequate navigation information, yet are still responsive to command.

  13. Energy Efficiency • Energy is limited in both terrestrial and underwater sensor networks • Communication energy costs • Transmit power dominate • 100 times more than receive power • 50W for transmitting • 0.2W for listening and 2W for decoding • Range of 2 – 3Km at a 25kHz, 80bit/sec to 5kbits/sec • AUV Energy cost • Propulsion power dominates network communication power • As an example, REMUS AUV • 30W for hotel power load : non-propulsion • 15W – 110W for propulsion power: 1.5m/s – 2.9m/s • For high speed AUV, communication energy can be neglected

  14. Conclusions • Underwater network will be mobile and sparse than terrestrial network • Due to different energy and economic considerations
