Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UnderWaterAcoustic Sensor Networks (UW-ASNs) are the newest technological achievement in terms of communication. Composed of a set of communicating underwater sensors, UW-ASNs are intended to observe and explore lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. Recently, they have been subject to a special attention due to their great potential in terms of promising applications in various domains (military, environmental, scientific...) and to the new scientific issues they raise. A great challenging issue in UW-ASNs is the fast energy depletion since high power is needed for acoustic communication while sensors battery budget is limited. Hence, energy-efficient networking protocols are of a paramount importance to make judicious use of the available energy budget while considering the distinguishing underwater environment characteristics. In this context, this thesis aims at studying the main challenging underwater acoustic sensors characteristics to design energy-efficient communication protocols specifically at the routing and MAC layers. First, we address the problem of energy holes in UW-ASNs. The sink-hole problem occurs when the closest nodes to sink drain their energy faster due to their heavier load. Indeed, those sensors especially the ones that are 1-hop away from the static sink act as relays to it on behalf of all other sensors, thus suffering from severe energy depletion. In particular, at the routing layer, we propose to distribute the transmission load at each sensor among several potential neighbors, assuming that sensors can adjust their communication range among two levels when they send or forward data. Specifically, we determine for each sensor the set of next hops with the associated load weights that lead to a fair energy depletion among all sensors in the network. Then, we extend our balanced routing strategy by assuming that each sensor node is not only able to adjust its transmission power to 2 levels but eventually up to n levels where n > 2. Consequently, at the routing layer, for each possible value of n, we determine for each sensor the set of possible next hops with the associated load weights that lead to a fair energy consumption among all sensors in the network. Moreover, we derive the optimal number of transmission powers n that balances the energy consumption among all sensors for each network configuration. In addition to that, it is worth pointing out that our extended routing protocol uses a more realistic time varying channel model that takes into account most of the fundamental characteristics of the underwater acoustic propagation. Analytical results show that further energy saving is achieved by our extended routing scheme. Second, to mitigate the dramatic collision impacts, we design a collision avoidance energy efficient multichannel MAC protocol (MC-UWMAC) for UW-ASNs. MC-UWMAC operates on single slotted control and a set of equal-bandwidth data channels. Control channel slots are dedicated to RTS/CTS handshaking allowing a communicating node pair to agree on the start time of communication on a pre-allocated data channel. In this thesis, we propose two novel coupled slot assignment and data channels allocation procedures without requiring any extra negotiation overhead. Accordingly, each node can initiate RTS/CTS exchange only at its assigned slot calculated using a slot allocation procedure based on a grid virtual partition of the deployment area. Moreover, for each communicating pair of nodes, one data channel is allocated using a channel allocation procedure based on our newly designed concept of singleton- intersecting quorum. Accordingly, each pair of communicating nodes will have at their disposal a unique 2-hop conflict free data channel. Compared with existing MAC protocol, MC-UWMAC reduces experienced collisions and improves network throughput while minimizing energy consumption.

Download or read book Reinforcement Learning Based Energy Efficient Routing Protocols for Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensor Networks written by Lu Jin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] The unique properties of underwater acoustic communications, such as large and time-varying propagation delay, low and range dependent channel bandwidth, and adverse operating environments, challenge the design of an energy efficient protocol in underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UA-WSNs). In this dissertation, we present a family of reinforcement learning based energy-efficient protocols for UA-WSNs so that the systems are "self-adaptive" or "self-optimized" to the environment after having been deployed. We show that, due to the limited bandwidth in underwater acoustic communication channels, the energy consumption caused by collisions and retransmissions is much higher than that of its terrestrial counterparts. Therefore, the key issue of extending the lifetime of underwater sensor networks is to reduce the collisions and retransmissions. To address this issue in a single underwater acoustic channel, we model the UA-WSNs as single agent reinforcement learning systems and design an routing protocol to aid transmitters to determine the most energy efficient relay nodes. In the design of the reward function, we use the transmission power level, the neighborhood interference, and the feasible bandwidth as the main parameters for the selection of relay nodes. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves a remarkable energy efficiency in comparison with the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. For verifying the feasibility of the reinforcement learning based energy efficient protocol in multiple underwater acoustic communication channels, we improve the protocol by including the channel-related factors in the design of the reward function. In the proposed UA-WSN system, the feasible acoustic spectrum is divided into a number of sub-channels which suffer diverse and frequency dependant attenuation and noise interference. The proposed protocol helps each transmitter to determine not only an optimal relay node, but also an optimal propagation sub-channel to the optimal relay node. For the reward function of the proposed protocol, the channel-related factors are used to evaluate the quality of the sub-channels in terms of noise and attenuation level, probability of collisions, etc.. Simulation results show that the use of a multiple-channel reinforcement learning protocol manifests far better energy efficiency than a single-channel reinforcement learning protocol. But the use of a large number of sub-channels leads to performance degradation due to the extremely narrow bandwidth and low capacity of sub-channels.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) are an active area of research and development. The underwater environment is harsh; acoustic channel characteristics such as high attenuation and absorption are an important challenge for the implementation of UWSNs. Void holes in networks, where a node can receive but cannot transmit to any node other than the sender, also present a significant challenge. This dissertation is motivated by these challenges and investigates solutions for energy efficient and void avoiding routing protocols for UWSNs. A proposed greedy routing protocol called Energy Efficient Depth-Based Opportunistic Routing (EEDOR) is designed and simulated. This protocol uses a novel holding time formula that incorporates both the priority of the candidate node and the depth difference between the packet sender and each candidate node of its forwarding set. The protocol uses a simple design that allows sensor nodes to form their forwarding sets by exchanging local information only. Nodes can collect information efficiently by listening and responding to forward request and forward reply messages. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieves significant energy savings as compared to popular protocols, thereby also extending network lifetime significantly. A void avoiding protocol called the called Energy Efficient Depth-Based Opportunistic Routing with Void Avoidance (EEDOR-VA) is also proposed. The novelty of this technique lies in employing a hop-count to determine paths between the source node and sink(s). Trapped and void nodes are recognized and eliminated from node forwarding sets. This protocol is shown to have a high packet delivery ratio (PDR). The protocol is evaluated using two different sets of simulation settings. Finally, the impact of the number of sinks and the sink deployment method on energy conservation and PDR is investigated. Simulation results show that using a deterministic multi-sink deployment can reduce the number of request and reply messages. As a result, the network overhead is reduced, decreasing the energy usage and increasing the PDR of the network.
