Abstract
Acoustic, wave based underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs), commonly used for underwater surveillance and explorations, fail to meet the growing demand for fast detection and higher data rates. Electromagnetic (EM) wave based underwater networks; on the other hand, have great potential for supporting such stringent requirements for various applications. Therefore, this paper proposes and investigates several three dimensional (3D) cluster-based UWSN architectures for detecting underwater intruders. The proposed architectures consisting of sensor nodes (SNs) and cluster heads (CHs) detect an intruder within the network area and forward the necessary information to an onshore base station (BS) for estimating the 3D location of the intruder. All communications from SNs to BSs are of EM wave based. Information of received EM signal power, and the location of SNs and CHs are utilized for estimating the locations of intruders. Extensive simulations are carried out for evaluating the proposed network performance in a salty seawater environment. Localization accuracy is compared in terms of error in distance and direction estimations demonstrating performance gaps among the architectures
