COMMUNICATION/NETWORKING IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS • UNDERGROUND APPLICATIONS • UNDERWATER APPLICATIONS
Wireless Underground Sensor NetworksI.F. Akyildiz and Erich Stuntebeck, “Wireless Underground Sensor Networks: Research Challenges”, Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal, Nov. 2006. Sink Soil Condition Sensor • Water • Salinity • Temperature
APPLICATIONS • Sports field monitoring • Golf courses • Soccer fields • Baseball fields • Grass tennis courts
FURTHER APPLICATIONS • Infrastructure monitoring • pipes • electrical wiring • liquid storage tanks • underground fuel tanks • septic tanks • Border Patrol and Security
FURTHER APPLICATIONS • Coal Mines (TUNNELS) • Diamond/Gold/Platinum Mining (TUNNELS)
Underground Channel Challenges • Dynamic Channel
Underground Challenges • Power Constraints • Difficult/impossible to change the batteries for underground devices • High radio power necessary due to extreme path losses • Low data rate • Channel conditions are best at low carrier frequencies • Less bandwidth is available at lower frequencies
Underground Challenges • Antenna Design • Extremely Lossy Environment • Strong FEC needed to help overcome weak signals, but must not use excessive energy in processing
Underground Challenges • EM Waves or • Magnetic Induction or • Seismic Waves????
Underground Challenges • MODULATION (EARLY WORK ANALOG COM.) (LATELY’04 QPSK, QAM 16, QAM 32); 4kHz carrier,10W, 2kbps) • Capacity Study • Tradeoff between Capacity and Reliability • MAC • Routing • End-to-End Reliability • Error Control • Packet Size
UNDERWATER NETWORKINGI.F. Akyildiz, D. Pompili, T. Melodia, “Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks: Research Challenges”,Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal, March 2005 • Available bandwidth is severely limited • UW channel is severely impaired (in particular due to multi-path and fading) • Very long (5 orders of magnitude higher than in RF terrestrial channels) and extremely variable propagation delays
CHARACTERISTICS OF UNDERWATER NETWORKS • Very high bit error rates and temporary losses of connectivity (SHADOW ZONES) • Battery power is limited and usually batteries cannot be recharged; no solar energy!!
Transmission Loss (URICK PROP. MODEL) Attenuation due to multipath Attenuation due to absorption Attenuation due to geometric spreading TL increases with increasing freq. & distance
