Underwater sensor networks with mobile agents: experience from the field
Source: lnicst 2013
The thesis is an experimental result report from two research projects, namely UAN and thesaurus.
UAN implements the communication mechanism at the composite layer, including Cama, Node Address and routing, and continuous communication between mobile nodes.
Thesaurus deploy a time-division multiplexing network to support robot detection of deep-water archaeological sites. "with the explicit objective of supporting the robotic evolution of deep water archaeological sites ."
The archaeological site is in Tuscan archipelago, Italy, in the cross-border islands.
AUVs -- autonomous underwater vehicles is the core role of underwater detection. However, the theoretical operation of robots is still far from the actual application of underwater robots. The main difficulty lies in the poor conditions of the underwater sensor network.
Compare the working mechanisms of the above two different network architectures.
