Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is researched in various filed. Underwater Sensor Network (UWSN) is used various purpose such as underwater environment monitoring. But, WSN is researched in the terrestrial that uses mainly radio frequency, The existing terrestrial research is incongruent to apply to underwater. Therefore, we propose UWSN architecture that considers underwater environment. In this paper, UWSN applied cluster technique and functional node constructs. Each cluster collects and sends cluster data. Dual super cluster head receives cluster data and transmits each in the base-station. We implement WSN routing algorithm, and construct test-bed and analyze cluster data receive rate.

많은 무선 센서 네트워크의 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 해양 환경에서의 무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구는 이제 막 초기 단계에 접어들었다. 따라서 아직 모든 것이 해결해야할 과제이며. 최상의 네트워크 구조 및 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들이 정해져 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 해양 무선 네트워크의 구조를 비교 분석하고, 문제점 및 개선사항을 포함한 새로운 센서 네트워크 구조를 제안한다. 그리고 열악한 해양 환경에서의 네트워크를 구성하는데 필요한 센서, 센서 노드, 싱크 노드, 릴레이 노드, 게이트웨이 노드들의 특징을 기술한다. 특히 기존의 연구와 차별화된 릴레이 노드를 두어서 좀 더 유연하고, 연결성이 높은 네트워크를 형성하는 구조를 제안한다.

As underwater environment monitoring system's interest has increased, the research is proceeding about underwater acoustic sensor network. Underwater sensor network can be applicable to many fields, such as underwater environment monitoring, underwater resource exploration, oceanic data collection, military purposes, etc. It is essential to define the PHY-MAC protocol for revitalization of the underwater acoustic sensor network which is available utilization in a variety of fields. However, underwater acoustic sensor network has to implement by consideration of underwater environmental characteristics, such as limited bandwidth, multi-path, fading, long propagation delay caused by low acoustic speed. In this paper, we define frequency of adjusted PHY protocol, network topology, MAC protocol, PHY-MAC interface, data frame format by consideration of underwater environmental characteristics. We also present system configuration of our implementation and evaluate performance based on our implementation with test in real underwater field.

Data transmission in poor environment like underwater has considerably serious delay rate and ewer rate. Like this environment usually has heavy fluctuation of error rate and limited wireless communication state. Therefore, mechanism using in such environment has to be efficient and simple. This paper suggests a new block ack mechanism, called the Pervasive Block ACK (PBA), which transmits aggregated ACKs. This mechanism takes effect on reducing number of traffic, decreasing overhead and delay rate in poor environment networks like underwater. Additionally, we can expect energy consumption. We verify propriety and efficiency of PBA through describing numerical result based analytical formula in this paper.
