About this book

This book covers all small details about Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN). Researchers can use this book as a prerequisite before starting any research on underwater networks or underwater applications. This book covers the introduction, challenges, different architectural models for UWSN, various attacks on UWSN, underwater applications, and networking layers. The target audience includes professors and students in engineering, and researchers and engineers working on marine applications. In academic level, the book is helpful for students having Networking and Information Security as elective subject and doing projects in Wireless Networks. It is also helpful for spostgraduates and Ph.D. researchers to learn basics of Underwater Sensor Networks.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
“Sensor networks” can be said as a significant part of technology that creates magic of sensing and wirelessly sending information on land and in water. Sensor networks built on land are popularly named as terrestrial sensor networks which are used in many applications from IoT, VANET to smart cities. The underwater wireless sensor networks [UWSNs] are the only type of network which can be static and dynamic in nature. In fact, the 80% of UWSNs developed till date are dynamic, i.e. the sensors flow with ocean currents. Thus depending on sensor nature, components of UWSN to be used and underwater application, there are different types of architectural designs for UWSN which are explained in detail in this chapter.

Chapter 2. Communication Mediums in UWSN
Abstract
The underwater sensor network (USN) is used in various domains from surveillance to different monitoring applications like monitoring of gas and oil pipelines, aquatic species or water quality. The usage and increasing demand of UWSN in different fields shows the significance of UWSN and its communication medium. The wireless communication mediums in UWSN are acoustic wave, radio waves and optical waves. The acoustic wave is the most commonly used communication medium, whereas radio waves are used for short distances. The optical waves provide highest bandwidth but can travel underwater communication medium to research forum. The underwater communication mediums are deeply studied in this chapter to have a clear understanding about each medium before developing any underwater application.

Chapter 3. Protocol Layers
Abstract
The data exchanged between sensor nodes is defined by a protocol—set of rules for communication. There are many such protocols developed for UWSN with each handling a particular aspect of communication. These protocols are generally structured together to form a stack commonly known as protocol layers. As studied in second chapter, radio waves cannot travel long distance into water which makes the UWSN different from TWSN and hence their protocol layers.

Chapter 4. Threats and Attacks in UWSN
Abstract
Data security and wireless communications are the two wheels of same vehicle. In today’s era, data is useless if received from any unsecured wireless network may be terrestrial or underwater. In last 30 years, much of research work has been done in the domain of UWSN starting from underwater sensors and robotics developments, to routing and MAC protocols.

Chapter 5. Applications of UWSN
Abstract
The growing development and research interest in underwater wireless sensor network have led to the implementation of various underwater applications. The usefulness of applications developed underwater is ranging from underwater surveillance to the development of underwater city. The “Challenges of UWSN” really makes it difficult to architect and deploy a highly secured and energy-efficient UWSN.

Chapter 6. Conclusion
Abstract
In this book, we have tried to brief on all topics, relating to use of “Underwater World for the purpose of Digital Data Transmission”. The book chapters are describing a short story on UWSN showcasing from “What is UWSN?” to “Applications of UWSN”. The first introductory chapter speaks about different architecture models in UWSN (1D, 2D, 3D and 4D-UWSN), the components of UWSN and shows the difference between TWSN and UWSN.
