Wireless acoustic communication is the typical physical-layer technology
underwater because of the high medium absorption of radio frequencies and of
the scattering problem affecting optical waves. As of today, however, acoustic
communication solutions support only delay-tolerant low-bandwidth monitoring
applications. Yet, there is an increasing need to enable near-real-time
acquisition and processing of heterogeneous data from mobile and static ocean
exploration platforms. Reaching this goal will support a number of applications
for scientific, environmental, commercial, and military purposes including, but
not limited to, estimating concentration of water pollutants, monitoring
dynamic oceanographic phenomena (such as phytoplankton growth and rate of
photosynthesis, salinity and temperature gradient), preventing disasters by
issuing tsunami warnings, assisting navigation as well as performing offshore
exploration and tactical surveillance. Due to the unique characteristics of the
underwater environment, however, existing communication and networking
solutions developed for terrestrial wireless networks cannot be applied
directly to advance underwater communications and networks.
This joint Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks and Physical Communication special issue
aims at soliciting original manuscripts on recent developments and new
solutions considering the unique characteristics of the underwater environment
and, in general, on all aspects of underwater communications and networks such
as cooperative spectrum sharing and resource allocation techniques, new
transport-, network- and link-layer protocols, theoretical and performance
bounds on the operation of multihop networks, secure and jamming-free
underwater communications, and adaptive sampling schemes using autonomous
underwater vehicles.
Also, manuscripts with experimental evaluations and implementations on testbeds
are sought, reporting findings on the limitations and challenges faced in the
actual deployment of underwater communications and networks. The objective of
this joint special issue is to bring together stateof-the-art research
contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects.
Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently
under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are therefore solicited.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Optical, acoustic, and electromagnetic communications for underwater networks
MAC-, routing-, and transport-layer protocols for underwater communications
Underwater sensor network security
Underwater sensor network architecture
Network coverage and node placement
Energy efficiency and power control
Target tracking using underwater sensor networks
Modeling and simulation in underwater sensor networks
Synchronization and localization for underwater communications
Cooperative communications in underwater sensor networks
Adaptive sampling using autonomous underwater vehicles
Mobility models and mobility control of underwater vehicles
