Abstract

Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) is playing a vital role in exploration and monitoring operations in underwater environments that are difficult to reach. The communication medium relies on acoustic waves, which limits the performance of UASN in comparison to terrestrial sensor network. This is due to its limited bandwidth, high latency and high path loss. In this article, a comprehensive study is presented to show the characteristics of UASN. This study is designed to investigate the performance of UASN in different scenarios. The investigation encompasses End- To-End delay and energy consumption with respect to different parameters. In addition, we analyze the performance of underwater acoustic ad-hoc networks in the presence of node distribution and network dimensions.
