Abstract

Underwater sensor networks (USNs) have many challenges in terms of determining network information. One of the challenges is determining 3D position coordinates of the sensor nodes in real-time in the aquatic environment. In this work, experiments have been conducted by deploying sensor nodes underwater at a shallow depth. As a case study, sensors have been used to sense water temperature and transmit to anchor (sink) node in a multi-hop fashion. Hardware experiments have been successfully conducted for localization and data transmission and results stored in industrial cloud platform smartcore for any further requirement. NS-3 with Aqua-3D-an Aqua-Sim network simulator has the required modules to visualize 3D Underwater Sensor Network. Simulation results show that 3D network visualization and node localization is obtained accurately. The Aqua-3D results are compared with the GPS coordinate values for localization accuracy.
