In this paper, we investigate reliable end-to-end data transfer in Underwater Acoustic Networks. A hybrid ARQ scheme, named UW-HARQ is proposed, which combines FEC coding and ARQ. For the FEC coding, Random Binary Linear Coding is employed due to its low coding and decoding complexity. An adaptive coding ratio estimation scheme, which incorporates the PER information, is proposed to minimize the number of retransmissions between the source and the destination. For the ARQ, NACK packets are utilized to inform the source node how many and which packets to send out in a retransmission and ACK packets are used as indications of data packet recovery success. We implemented UW-HARQ on real UAN nodes by leveraging our hardware and software platform. Initial lab test results show that UW-HARQ achieves a larger throughput than TCP-like approaches with a comparable overhead.

“…Different from the above two approaches, Aqua-Net [4] is developed from scratch, in which all events are native and managed by the host operating system. Aqua-Net has been used in a number of successful lake tests [10], and sea trials [11]. Over the course of experimentation and usage, we have realized drawbacks of Aqua-Net that it can only support a single protocol suite per modem and does not provide a uniform interface for cross-layer communication.…”

Advancement in acoustic modem technology has gradually brought underwater network into real life. Despite high cost of sea testing, there have been initial realization effort, such as Sea-Web, Aqua-Net, SUNSET, etc. As the main developers of Aqua-Net, through extensive testing experiences at different scales, we have recognized shortcomings of AquaNet and decided to design and implement the next generation of it. In this paper, we introduce SeaLinx as a new protocol stack architecture for underwater networking which (i) enables users to exploit their hardware more efficiently by allowing applications to run simultaneously on a modem, and (ii) provide better support for cross-layer communication.

“…In the same year, a near-shore testbed [4] that had remote access was developed in Marina del Rey, California. Aqua-TUNE [18], a lake testbed, was later proposed for researchers to conduct short-term underwater network experiments. Also in 2010, a low cost testbed of underwater mobile sensing network was developed in [19].…”

Underwater Wireless Networks (UWNs) have gained significant attention in recent years given their ability to expand underwater monitoring and detection applications. In this paper, we share our experience from a recent field experiment in the Atlantic Ocean, in which we have deployed an 11 node UWN. We discuss the system architecture, both hardware and software, and evaluate two new network protocols and one existing network protocol for real-world performance. Additionally, we provide insight on how the physical environment and surroundings impact the performance of the networked system. This work will share our practical issues in real systems and inspire new advances in the area of UWN research.
