Application for the Study of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks: Case Study

Abstract:

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) technology is strongly present in the research area, where many applications have been developed for monitoring of the underwater environments such as oil bases, pollution control, natural disasters, among others. Considering that the planet is covered by 70% of water, it is important to understand how to carry out communications in these environments, as a challenge by its limitations such as bandwidth, propagation speed, high delays, complex deployments, difficulty in energy recharge, among the most important. This study addresses an application development that allows simulating UWSNs in a controlled environment that considers attributes of the ISO/IEC 25010 standard that covers the quality of the software product. This will enable telecommunications students simulate, learn and understand about UWSN. It will be easier and simpler compared to more robust simulators such as OMNET, NS2 or NS3.
