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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWSNs) have attracted much research interest in recent years due to the wide range of their potential applications, such as environmental monitoring, natural resources development, and geological oceanography. While much research effort has been devoted to the improvement of acoustic signal reception and processing, the increase of throughput, and the reduction of packet delay, not really studies focus on reducing and balancing energy consumption among sensor nodes in long-term marine monitoring applications. In this dissertation, through a comprehensive understanding of underwater acoustic channels, we propose a series of solutions to achieve energy-efficient data transmission in UWSNs by considering both battery energies of sensor nodes and network connectivity. We first review different approaches to modelling the underwater acoustic channels to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the underwater acoustic communication environment. We propose an asynchronous wake-up scheme based on combinatorial designs to minimize the working duty cycle of sensor nodes for UWSNs in long-term marine monitoring applications. Network connectivity can be maintained using such a design, even with a reduced duty cycle. We conduct simulation experiments to evaluate performance of the proposed scheme. It is shown through our results that the proposed asynchronous wake-up scheme can effectively reduce the energy consumption for idle listening and can outperform other cyclic difference set (CDS)-based wake-up schemes. It is worth noting that all these are achieved without sacrificing the network connectivity among sensor nodes. We investigate the deployment strategy of UWSNs with a square grid topology to balance the network robustness and the energy consumption of sensor nodes. We propose a relay node selection scheme for such network applications. We evaluate its performance in different network sizes and using different initial battery energy to balance the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed relay node selection scheme can effectively balance and prolong the network lifetime. Compared to routing algorithms solely based on the minimum hops, the performance of the proposed scheme is closer to the optimal theoretical value obtained by solving the linear programming problem. The network lifetime is further increased if sensor nodes are allowed to have different initial energy values based on their traffic load conditions. Finally, we propose an effective coordination scheme for data collection when an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is used as a mobile data sink in UWSNs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme when time synchronization is not available between the AUV and the sensor nodes. Based on the features available in existing acoustic modems, we introduce transmitting power control to further reduce energy consumption. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme with power control leads to lower energy consumption than without power control during underwater communication. The proposed schemes have been demonstrated to work well for underwater networks with a square grid topology. It can be also extended for other network topologies and more sophisticated modems.
