In most applications of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks, network connectivity is required for data exchange, data aggregation and relaying the data to a surface station. However, such connectivity can be lost due to failure of some sensor nodes which creates disruptions to the network operations. In this paper, we present two algorithms, namely BMR and DURA, which can detect network partitioning due to such node failures and re-establish network connectivity through controlled depth adjustment of nodes in a distributed manner. The idea is to first identify whether the failure of each node will cause partitioning or not based on localized information. If partitioning is to occur as a result of the possible failure of a particular node, both BMR and DURA designates backup nodes to handle the recovery in the future. While DURA aims to localize the recovery process and minimize the movement overhead on the nodes, BMR strives to reduce the recovery completion time at the expense of increased movement overhead by employing a two-phase block movement. The performance of the proposed approaches is validated through extensive simulations. The results indicated that DURA can provide energy savings as much as a centralized exhaustive approach while BMR provided the fastest recovery time.

Performance evaluation of a new cross layer protocol for sink powered underwater acoustic sensor networks
Türken, Hasan; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
The term Sink Powered Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (SPUASN) refers to a special configuration within the recent Remotely Powered Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (RPUASN) paradigm, where the data sink supplies energy to battery-free sensors that constitute the network. This thesis evaluates the performance of a new cross layer protocol, Cross Layer Power Adaptive CSMA/CA (X-PACCA), proposed for SPUASN. Simulation based performance evaluation is conducted both by investigating the effects of design...
Information-centric sensor networks for cognitive IoT: an overview
Al-Turjman, Fadi M. (2017-02-01)
Information-centric sensor networks (ICSNs) are a paradigm of wireless sensor networks that focus on delivering information from the network based on user requirements, rather than serving as a point-to-point data communication network. Introducing learning in such networks can help to dynamically identify good data delivery paths by correlating past actions and results, make intelligent adaptations to improve the network lifetime, and also improve the quality of information delivered by the network to the ...
Multi-objective evolutionary routing protocol for efficient coverage in mobile sensor networks
Attea, Bara'a A.; Khalil, Enan A.; Coşar, Ahmet (2015-10-01)
Individual sensors in wireless mobile sensor networks (MSNs) can move in search of coverage region for the sensing accuracy and for reaching the most efficient topology. Besides, sensors' clustering is crucial for achieving an efficient network performance. Although MSNs have been an area of many research efforts in recent years, integrating the coverage problem of MSNs with the efficient routing requirement that will maximize the network lifetime is still missing. In this paper, we consider the coverage op...
Path planning for mobile-anchor based wireless sensor network localization: Static and dynamic schemes
Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01)
In wireless sensor networks, node locations are required for many applications. Usually, anchors with known positions are employed for localization. Sensor positions can be estimated more efficiently by using mobile anchors (MAs). Finding the best MA trajectory is an important problem in this context. Various path planning algorithms are proposed to localize as many sensors as possible by following the shortest path with minimum number of anchors. In this paper, path planning algorithms for MA assisted loca...
DISTRIBUTED BEAMFORMING IN RELAY NETWORKS FOR ENERGY HARVESTING MULTI-GROUP MULTICAST SYSTEMS
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25)
In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered for multi-group multicasting relay networks where there is no direct link between the source and destination nodes. Each source transmits its own multicast stream to a group of users with the help of single antenna relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. Each user has energy harvesting capability. A part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. T...
