Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

In this chapter, we will provide the brief introduction of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and the detailed introduction of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). We define the basic issues and different applications related to UWSNs. This chapter provides the description about the difference between the terrestrial WSNs and UWSNs. Later, we discuss the different task of the sensor nodes and deployment architecture of the UWSNs. We elaborate the factors that affect UWSNs design as well as communication architecture of the UWSNs. Here, we explain security issues and provide the detailed description of TCP/IP protocol stack. Later, we define all the protocols for secure communication in UWSNs. One important aspect of this chapter is the study of different simulation tools. We pull together all of the content on simulation of the UWSNs. Finally, we conclude the chapter.
