- Summary
- "A detailed review of underwater channel characteristics, Underwater Acousitic Sensor Networks investigates the fundamental aspects of underwater communication. Prominent researchers from around the world consider contemporary challenges in the development of underwater acoustics sensor networks (UW-ASNs) and introduce a cross-layer approach for effective integration of all communication functionalities." "Discussing architectures for two- and three-dimensional sensor networks, this authoritative resource clearly delineates the main differences between terrestrial and underwater sensor networks---covering the wide range of topics related to UW-ASNs. It examines efficient distributed routing algorithms for delay-insensitive and delay-sensitive applications and introduces a realistic acousitc model characterized by channel utilization efficiency that enables proper setting of the optimal packet size for underwater communication." "The book includes coverage of routing, fault tolerance, time synchronization, optimal clustering, medium access control, software, hardware, and channel modeling. Exploring the need to design an energy-efficient cross-layer protocol suite, this resource provides the understanding required to achieve high-performance channel access, routing, event transport reliability, and data flow control with underwater acoustic sensors."--BOOK JACKET.
