Introduction
       Most of the Earth is covered by water
       Underwater operations are difficult
       Monitoring tasks:
           Habitat monitoring
           Data sampling
       Critical tasks:
           Oil spill, Mexico Gulf 2010

Motivation
       AUV Limitations:
           Off-line configuration
           Non real-time monitoring
           Limited Bandwidth and high propagation delays
       Use Underwater Wireless Sensor Network UWSN to
        over come theses limitations
       But
           High cost deployment
           Large power consumption
           Limited hardware

Papers Objective
       Find the optimal distance between two nodes such
        that
           Attains maximum coverage and connectivity
           Minimizes transmission loss between nodes

       Find an optimal node placement strategy to support
        AUVs operations such that
           Minimum number of nodes is used for a given volume
           Maximum coverage volume for certain number of nodes




    5
Network Model
       Surface Gateways (SG): EM and acoustic transceivers
       Relay Nodes (RN): homogenous transceivers
       Uniform transmission power
       Each node forms a communication sphere of
        radius r
       Two nodes are connected if inter-distance is
        less than or equal r
       Nodes are statically placed and maintain
        their positions                                r      SG

       Ocean is divided horizontally into regions            RN
        based on the depth
       Propagation characteristic is different
        in each region




    6
Network Model
       Find a space-filling polyhedron that approximates the
        communication sphere
       The best polyhedron to approximate a sphere has a
        large volumetric quotient
       Truncated Octahedron (TO) has
        volumetric quotient of 0.68
       Node placement strategy is to
        tessellate TOs of radius R using



        where

Results




          Transmission loss of deep water at 10000 m depth
11
Results
    There exists a range of frequencies with longer
     transmission distance, because of the reduction in
     ambient noise
    As depth increases, higher frequencies can be used
     for larger transmission distance
    High BER can tolerate larger frequencies and further
     transmission distance
    Higher power increases transmission range
    BPSK and QPSK perform better than 16-QAM
        Small bit/symbol is better in low data-rate networks

Simulation Results




Maximum transmission range to maintain cut-off threshold of 19.47 at depthof
7500 m
   18
Conclusions
    Higher frequencies provide more channel capacity
     but more susceptible to transmission loss
        Optimal operating frequency is around 40 KHz in shallow
         water, and 100 KHz in deep water
    Low symbol modulation is more suitable for UWSN
        BPSK and QPSK

Editor's Notes

  • #3: My presentation outline is as follows. I will start with the importance of UWSN applications and its challenges and limitations. Then will show some related work of underwater node placement. Then I will present the problem objective and formulation, followed by discussion about the observed results from the analytical and simultion experiments At the end I will conclude my presentation with some considered future work
  • #4: 70% of planet earth is covered by water.High percentage is still unexplored. No cheap and efficient way to conduct underwater operations. AUVs are helpful, but difficult to control in deep water.AUVs are used in scientific tasks like habitat monitoring, data samplingOne of greatest use of AUVs is the call of MBARI during the oil spill in Mexican Gulf 2010. It dove up to 1,500 m and collected water samples near the oil spill. It provided the researchers with better understanding of the effects on the surrounding enivrnoment
  • #5: The disadvantages of using AUVs underwater is that sampled data can be only retrieved when the AUV is back to surface. Some applications need real-time data monitoring and sampling. Another disadvantage is the limited storage. Offline configurationChallenges ExpensiveRequired high powerLimited hardware capability Difficult to deploy
  • #9: Transmission loss is caused by two phenomena: 1- energy spreading: as the wave propagates for longer distances it occupies larger surface area. as the surface area increases the energy per unit surface area becomes less and hence low received signal .. Geometric spreading are: spherical and cylidrical.. Modeled by k values of 1 and 2. 1.5 is the practical value2- waves absorptionis frequency dependent. High frequency signals are more vulnerable to loss because of energy transfer to energy. Transmission loss, mainly depends no the distance operating frequency, and absorption coefficient . Different models for absorption, the most basic depends only on the frequency. While a more complicated depends on the temperature, salinity, acidity and the depth.
  • #10: Ainslie and McColm model is and accurate model that consider temperature, salinity and acidity. G1 represent the abosrptoptin caused by the boric acid, g2 from the magnisuemsulphate. Default values for salinity and acidity is 35 and 8 Figure shows the effect of the frequency and depth
  • #11: Given spreading factor, operating frequency, depth, Rmax, volume and number of nodes, we can find out the optimal tranmission range that minimizes TLConstraints are it has to be within the hardware capability of the node operating frequency in the valid range for the absorption model V is greater than certain threshold to assure that rc is not going to zero
  • #12: Logarithmic behavior in the transmission loss. Rapidly increase with distance and frequency. Decreases as depth increase
  • #13: One observation worth to mention is the optimal frequency because of the noise model behavior. For deep water, frequencues around 100 KHz has less noise than any other and still hold TLth. For shallow is 40 KHz. We found the affect of changing power, BER values, modulation scheme and depth on the optimal frequency
  • #14: As depth increases, higher frequency can be used to maintain same TLth
  • #15: Increasing the power allow singals to propgate further with same frequencies
  • #16: Low BER values have more strict ranges and fs to maintain TLth
  • #18: We used NS3. Its a free available network simulator equipped with many models for all kinds of networks UAN framework is available, but buggy and has very limited functionalities. We modified the framework to better match with our assumptions. Changes: propogation modelPhy chars MAC protocol Sending UDP packets underwater
  • #19: Transmission ranges in the simulation approximatly matches the obtained ones from the mathematical model
  • #20: In the future, we are aiming to enhance the problem formulation to include channel capacity. In such that the solution provides the best distance and operating frequency to achieve network reliability and high throughput in terms of capacity and propagation delay
