Architecture of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks:A Survey

摘要：

Recently,there has been a growing interest in monitoring aqueous environments using Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network(UASNs),which is considered as a novel tool in exploring ocean also in small aqueous environments such as lakes,rivers.Network topology is a crucial factor in determining energy consumption,capacity and reliability of a network ,it’s necessary for us to know the feasible architectures and their characteristics of UASNs.In this paper,we do a survey on the architecture of UASNs,and classify the architecture into three groups using the node characters as a rule.We also analyze the open questions should to be faced in further research works.The architecture of USANs would be important for application network design,topology control,communication protocols and related study.
