초록

수중 음파 센서 네트워크의 다각적인 발전에도 불구하고 네트워크상에서의 연결이 손실되는 경우가 여전히 존재한다. 특히 해양 환경에서 네트워크상의 연결 중에 발생할 수 있는 연결 단절을 유발하는 많은 다양한 문제점으로 인해 이를 보완하기 위해서 수중 음파 통신 네트워크를 위한 새로운 테스트 메커니즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 통신 프로세스의 문제점 및 에러가 발생하는 위치를 식별하기 위해서 장애 없이 네트워크 배포시 가장 중요한 부분들에 대해 조사할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 수중 음파 통신 네트워크(UWASN)를 위한 Step-wised Out-test 메커니즘을 도입하고 실험을 통하여 out-test 기능을 이용한 수중 단말의 작동을 엄격하게 점검하였다. 구현 및 실험 결과를 통해서 Out-test 기능의 유용성 및 우수성을 입증하였고 향후 가능한 개선을 제시하였다.

Despite a series of various developments in underwater acoustic sensor networks, there are still occasions of loss of connection over the network. Because sufficient amounts of drawbacks causing disconnections posed particularly in the middle of connection over the network emerge in the ocean environment, there is a need of new testing mechanism for underwater acoustic networks. In this paper, we proposed to investigate the most vital parts of the network deployment whether they function well in order, without any failure so as to identify where exactly communication process problems and failures are. We introduce step-wised out-test mechanism for UWASNS and accomplished the mechanism by implementing experiments and rigorously checked all the underwater devices utilizing out-test function. Experimental results and out-test function are evinced by implementing, in order to explain our system and conclude with possible future improvements.
