Cognitive routing for maritime wireless ad hoc networks is proposed in this paper to find a stable path between source and destination. This is ship-to-ship communication where two ships can communicate when they not only have consensus on a common idle channel but also are in the transmission range of each other. We apply belief propagation algorithm for collaborative spectrum sensing. Every user (ship) exchanges its local decisions with its neighbors to compute the final belief about the state of the channel. These beliefs are applied for estimating the link duration for total number of hops between source and destination. Then, a path is selected which maximizes the path duration among all the paths in the network to reach the destination. We apply both flood-based and geographical routing protocols to find a route between source and destination for different scenarios. We simulate our scheme for different ocean settings and evaluate path durations for different number of ships. The results report a significant increase in path duration as the number of nodes increases in the network. In addition, we verify that path duration increases with an increase in probability of primary user being idle via extensive simulations. Hence, our scheme provides stable path selection for communication among users onboard.

“…In this paper we extend our analysis and evaluation of the Ship Ad-hoc Network proposed in [8] [9] to IOT networks. A model of the VHF radio is used to setup a physical layer in the NS2 simulator, and four different routing protocols in mobile Ad-Hoc networks are used in simulation, namely DSDV, AODV, AOMDV and DSR.…”

Current satellite communication remains very expensive and impractical for most small to mid-sized vessels, and at the same time marine wireless networking is lack of network coverage. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel IOT (Internet of Things) enabled system for marine data acquisition and cartography based on Ship Ad-hoc Networks (SANET's). Ships are equipped with Very High Frequency (VHF) radios and several sensors such as sea depth, temperature, wind speed and direction, etc. The collected sensory data is sent to 5G edge clouds incorporated at sink/base station nodes on shore, and ultimately aggregated at a central cloud on the internet to produce up to date cartography. The routing protocols deployed are DSDV (Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector), AODV (Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector), AOMDV (Ad hoc On-Demand Multipath Distance Vector) and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) protocols, which are very popular in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET's) and compatible with multi hop routing environments and scalability towards increased traffic and mobility. Simulation results verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed system that has packet delivery rates of up to 80% at shore base stations.

“…We then employ this study to obtain a quantization and compression algorithm by using our model (Average Marine Data Compression (AMDC)) to reduce the traffic size on our low data rate VHF channel proposed in [3] for MANETs in the marine environment. We evaluate and compare the proposed data compression techniques with other known techniques and evaluate its suitability for deployment on resource constrained devices such as a WSN node in the marine environment.…”

Abstract-Data compression is known today as one of the most important enabling technologies that form the foundation of the majority of data applications and networks as we know them, including wireless sensor networks and the popular world wide net (internet). Marine data networks are gaining increasing interest in the research community due to the increasing request for data services over the sea. There are a very narrow range of available solutions because of the absence of infrastructure over such vast water surfaces. We have previously proposed applying MANET networks in the marine environment using VHF technology available on the majority of ships and vessels in order to gather different sensor data such as sea depth, temperature, wind speed and direction, etc. and send it to a central server to produce a public information map. We also discusses the gains and drawbacks of our proposal including the problem of low rate data transmission offered by VHF radio limited to 9.6 Kbps. In this paper we investigate the application of appropriate data quantization and compression techniques to the marine sensor data collected in order to reduce the burden on the channel links and achieve better transmission efficiency.
