Micro-ANP：A Novel Network Protocol Architecture for Underwater Sensor Network

Abstract:

Underwater sensor network (UWSN) adopts acoustic communication and is characterized by high delay, low bandwidth, high error rate, low energy-consumption requirement and sparse topology, which lead to conventional network protocols for terrestrial WSN or other wireless multi-hop networks are unable to satisfy the performance of UWSN. On the other hand, the limited resources of energy, CPU and memory cause that the protocol stack running on the sensor node shouldn’t be much complicated. The paper proposes a novel, green network protocol architecture model tailored for UWSN, referred to as Micro-ANP, which is three layered structure including application, network transport, and physical layer. Furthermore, basing on Micro-ANP we realize the packet size optimization of UWSN through Matlab simulation. Micro-ANP protocol architecture and packet size optimization improve the energy efficiency of UWSN, prolong the network lifetime and achieve green network while meeting the requirement of QoS with the constraints of limited resource.
