Ocean covers 70.8% of the Earth’s surface, and it plays an important role in supporting all life on Earth. Nonetheless, more than 80% of the ocean’s volume remains unmapped, unobserved and unexplored. In this regard, Underwater Sensor Networks (USNs), which offer ubiquitous computation, efficient communication and reliable control, are emerging as a promising solution to understand and explore the ocean. In order to support the application of USNs, accurate position information from sensor nodes is required to correctly analyze and interpret the data sampled. However, the openness and weak communication characteristics of USNs make underwater localization much more challenging in comparison to terrestrial sensor networks. In this book, we focus on the localization problem in USNs, taking into account the unique characteristics of the underwater environment. This problem is of considerable importance, since fundamental guidance on the design and analysis of USN localization is very limited at present. To this end, we first introduce the network architecture of USNs and briefly review previous approaches to the localization of USNs. Then, the asynchronous clock, node mobility, stratification effect, privacy preserving and attack detection are considered respectively and corresponding localization schemes are developed. Lastly, the book’s rich implications provide guidance on the design of future USN localization schemes. The results in this book reveal from a system perspective that underwater localization accuracy is closely related to the communication protocol and optimization estimator. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of USNs can benefit greatly from this book, which provides a wealth of information, useful methods and practical algorithms to help understand and explore the ocean.

"This dissertation focuses on node localization in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) where anchor nodes have knowledge of their own locations and communicate with sensor nodes in acoustic or magnetic induction (MI) means. The sensor nodes utilize the communication signals and the locations of anchor nodes to locate themselves and propagate their locations through the network. For UWSN using MI communications, this dissertation proposes two localization methods: rotation matrix (RM)-based method and the distance-based method. Both methods require only two anchor nodes with arbitrarily oriented tri-directional coils to locate one sensor node in the 3-D space, thus having advantages in a sparse network. Simulation studies show that the RM-based method achieves high localization accuracy, while the distance-based method exhibits less computational complexity. For UWSN using acoustic communications, this dissertation proposes a novel multi-hop node localization method in the 2-D and 3-D spaces, respectively. The proposed method estimates Euclidean distances to anchor nodes via multi-hop propagations with the help of angle of arrival (AoA) measurements. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves better localization accuracy than existing multi-hop methods, with high localization coverage. This dissertation also investigates the hardware implementation of acoustic transmitter and receiver, and conducted field experiments with the hardware to estimate ToA using single pseudo-noise (PN) and dual PN(DPN) sequences. Both simulation and field test results show that the DPN sequences outperform the single PNs in severely dispersive channels and when the carrier frequency offset (CFO) is high"--Abstract, page iv.

Underwater Sensor Networks (USN) are used for tough oceanographic missions where human operation is dangerous or impossible. USNs consist of tethered (stationary) or untethered (mobile) sensor nodes. When the nodes are untethered, they move passively with the currents. A realistic mobility model is required to capture this mobility pattern. In our studies we collaborate in an oceanographic mobility model. We use this model to evaluate the performance of the proposed protocols under a mobile network. Localization and data delivery are among the fundamental tasks in USNs. In this study, we propose two localization algorithms. The proposed techniques are evaluated by simulation. We propose Dive and Rise Localization (DNRL) and Proxy Localization (PL). We compare their performance with a recognized technique from the literature. The simulation results show that DNRL has high localization success, high accuracy, low energy consumption and low overhead. Hence, it outperforms the other techniques for the mobile USN. DNRL and PL are shown to be energy efficient and suitable for long-term underwater missions. In our studies, we also analyze data delivery in stationary USNs. We employ a greedy, location-based routing algorithm and investigate its performance under location inaccuracies. We analyze the delivery ratio, overhead and average end-to-end delay of the location-based routing protocol when localization techniques are employed for location estimation. Our simulations show that location estimates with low mean error do not have significant affect. However, when location estimates with higher location inaccuracy are used, the delivery ratio of the routing protocol decreases significantly.
