In this paper, an infrastructure-based localization method using underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is addressed. A localization using the UWSN is necessary to widen the usage of underwater applications, however it is very difficult to establish the UWSN due to the restrictions of water. In this paper, to extend the usage of UWSN at the infrastructure, we propose a sophisticated UWSN localization method using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the electromagnetic waves. During the electromagnetic waves propagating in underwater, there arises a lot of attenuation according to the distance, while the attenuation shows uniformity according to the distance. Using this characteristics, the localization system in underwater infrastructure is proposed and the experimental results show the effectiveness.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 그 중 해양 센서 네트워크는 해양 환경 감시와 같은 다양한 목적으로 사용 될 수 있다. 그러나 무선 센서 네트워크는 주로 지상에서 연구된다. 기존에 지상에서의 연구는 해양에 적용하기에 부적합하다. 따라서, 해양 환경을 고려한 해양 센서 네트워크 구조를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 해양 센서 네트워크에 클러스터링 기법과 기능별 노드 구축을 적용하였다. 각 클러스터는 클러스터 데이터를 수집하여 전송한다. 이중의 슈퍼 클러스터 헤드는 각각 수신한 클러스터 데이터를 베이스 스테이션에 전송한다. 제안한 해양 음파 센서 네트워크 라우팅 알고리즘을 구현하고, 테스트 베드를 구축하여 클러스터 데이터의 수신율을 분석한다.

This study concerns about wireless power generation that uses the energy harvester with EAP actuator. The UWSN(Underwater Wireless Sensor Network) has been considered many times by many researches. Because the information of underwater is getting important to secure the resource or to predict the meteorological phenomena. But the sensor node in the UWSN is driven by the acoustic wave to communicate with other sensor node. And this acoustic wave usually spends a 100 times energy than the RF(Radio Frequency) wave due to transfermation medium(sea water). Therefore the power source of the sensor node is very important that is needed to improve in the UWSN. For this purpose, the energy harvester is made by the acrylic elastomer in this study. And the electrode is modified with an aluminum impurity to improve the efficiency of energy harvester. After that, the modified energy harvester is experimented to confirm the improvement of the energy efficiency.

The energy efficiency is a key design issue to improve the lifetime of the underwater sensor networks (UWSN) consisting of sensor nodes equipped with a small battery of limited energy resource. In this paper, we apply a hexagon tessellation with an ideal cell size to deploy the underwater sensor nodes for two-dimensional UWSN. Upon this setting, we propose an enhanced hybrid transmission method that forwards data packets in a mixed transmission way based on location dependent direct transmitting or uniform multi-hop forwarding. In order to select direct transmitting or uniform multi-hop forwarding, the proposed method applies the threshold annulus that is defined as the distance between the cluster head node and the base station (BS). Our simulation results show that the proposed method enhances the energy efficiency compared with the existing multi-hop forwarding methods and hybrid transmission methods

The Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) consists of sensor nodes equipped with limited sensing coverages, energy resources and communication capacity. Hence, the deployment and movement algorithm is a key issue that needs to be organized in order to improve the sensing efficiency of the networks. In this paper, we use a Queen problem and Knapsack problem to prevent the reiteration phenomenon of sensors, to guarantee improvement sensing coverage and efficiency in the 3D UWSN.

With the advent of the ubiquitous technology age, the progress of network technology has enabled a robust sensor communication, not just in cities, but also in poor surroundings such as deserts, polar regions, or underwater environments. In this paper, we propose a Multiple Acknowledgement (MA) technique to replace the conventional Automatic Repeat request (ARQ) technique. The MA mechanism is to send an Ack to many receivers simultaneously. The CH (master, coordinator) of the unit cluster broadcasts a Beacon frame where Ack information of the previously transmitted data is included. This technique can reduce the number of transmissions and overhead significantly. The proposed technique is a scheme improving the efficiency of an underwater sensor network where the uplink data transmission is the mainstream. The Performance of the ARQ, Block Ack, Pervasive Block Ack and the proposed method were compared with one another and analyzed. The proposed method showed significant performance improvement as compared with the ARQ, BA, and PBA in its channel efficiency.

${\mu}TESLA$는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)에서 대표적인 에너지 효율적 브로드캐스트 인증 방법이다. 지금까지 ${\mu}TESLA$의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 해결한 많은 연구들이 존재하지만, 그들 대부분은 자신들의 성능 입증을 위해 현실과는 거리가 먼 실험 환경에서 검증되었다. 우리는 현실에서 실제 WSN을 사용할 법한 실험 환경을 가정하고 이 바탕 위에서 ${\mu}TESLA$가 가진 실체적인 성능에 대해서 고찰해볼 필요가 있다고 생각하였다. 이 논문에서는 BS가 네트워크에 상주하지 않는 UWSN(Unattended WSN) 환경에서 동면과 활동을 반복하는 센서 노드들이 멀티홉으로 통신을 수행하는 경우를 가정하였다. 이러한 환경에서 우리는 다양한 모의실험을 통하여 ${\mu}TESLA$의 성능을 새로이 검증 및 분석하였다.

최근 해양 환경 모니터링과 해양 개발에 대한 관심이 증대됨에 따라 수중 무선센서네트워크 구성 및 이를 위한 저전력 수중 통신 모뎀에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 초소형 무지향성 트랜스 듀서를 탑재한 수중 음향 통신 모뎀을 설계하고 구현한다. 또한, 개발한 모뎀을 사용하여 수조와 실외 환경에서 공급 전압과 통신 거리에 따른 성능 실험을 실시하고 결과를 분석한다. 실외 환경에서의 실험 결과에 의하면, 개발한 모뎀에 12 V를 공급하였을 때 40 m 거리에서 200 bps, $10^{-3}$ 비트오율로 단방향 수중 무선 통신이 가능하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 모뎀은 초소형, 저전력, 무지향성 특성을 가지므로 수중 무선센서네트워크에 기반한 다양한 응용 시스템에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Under Water Sensor Networks (UWSN) has gained attraction among various communities for its potential applications like acoustic monitoring, 3D mapping, tsunami detection, oil spill monitoring, and target tracking. Unlike terrestrial sensor networks, it performs an acoustic mode of communication to carry out collaborative tasks. Typically, surface sink nodes are deployed for aggregating acoustic phenomena collected from the underwater sensors through the multi-hop path. In this context, UWSN is constrained by factors such as lower bandwidth, high propagation delay, and limited battery power. Also, the vulnerabilities to compromise the aquatic environment are in growing numbers. The paper proposes an Energy-Efficient standalone Intrusion Detection System (EEIDS) to entail the acoustic environment against malicious attacks and improve the network lifetime. In EEIDS, attributes such as node ID, residual energy, and depth value are verified for forwarding the data packets in a secured path and stabilizing the nodes' energy levels. Initially, for each node, three agents are modeled to perform the assigned responsibilities. For instance, ID agent verifies the node's authentication of the node, EN agent checks for the residual energy of the node, and D agent substantiates the depth value of each node. Next, the classification of normal and malevolent nodes is performed by determining the score for each node. Furthermore, the proposed system utilizes the sheep-flock heredity algorithm to validate the input attributes using the optimized probability values stored in the training dataset. This assists in finding out the best-fit motes in the UWSN. Significantly, the proposed system detects and isolates the malicious nodes with tampered credentials and nodes with lower residual energy in minimal time. The parameters such as the time taken for malicious node detection, network lifetime, energy consumption, and delivery ratio are investigated using simulation tools. Comparison results show that the proposed EEIDS outperforms the existing acoustic security systems.
