Experiment Research on Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network

Experiment is the effective research means. In this paper, an experiment platform for underwater acoustic sensor networks(UASNs) is designed and developed, which serves as the testing and evaluating system of UASNs and is convenient, flexible and scalable... In this platform, an automatic testing language is proposed, which can support performance testing of point-to-point underwater acoustic communication without interference of researcher. Moreover, end-to-end networking experimentation of UASNs can be done with this platform. Lots of research works on UASNs are done based on this platform and a great deal of experiment data on underwater acoustic communication and networking are accumulated.
