Abstract Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWASNs) connect the resources available
in oceans to the rest of the world. The network has a huge amount of sensors which are …

This survey aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research on
underwater wireless sensor networks, focusing on the lower layers of the communication …

There is general consensus that context can be a rich source of information about an
object's identity, location and scale. However the issue of how to formalize centextual …

Routing in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) is an important and a challenging
activity due to the nature of acoustic channels and to the harsh environment. This paper …

Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) offer their practicable applications in
seismic monitoring, sea mine detection, and disaster prevention. In these networks …

Extended propagation delay is the major challenge in implementing adaptive modulation
schemes in underwater acoustic communications. Due to the long propagation delay, the …

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) are ad-hoc networks which are deployed at rivers,
seas and oceans to explore and monitor the phenomena such as pollution control, seismic …

Noise can interfere with acoustic communication by masking signals that contain biologically
important information. Communication theory recognizes several ways a sender can modify …

Mid to low southern latitude hydrophone stations within the Indian Ocean have recorded two
distinct types of low‐frequency (< 100 Hz) tremor that can be correlated with drifting icebergs …

Several Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing protocols have been developed in the
last years for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). One of the main difficulties to …
