  Abstract

Acoustic wave is one of the most important media for long-range underwater wireless communications. However, the low propagation speed of sound not only increases the latency of a underwater acoustic network (UANet) but also degrades network throughput. In this paper, we implement a long-range UANet for the one-hop communication distance of up to 30 km. The implemented long-range UANet consists of medium access control protocol, time synchronization protocol, and routing protocol, which can improve the latency performance and mitigate the throughput degradation caused by the low sound speed. We design an interface between physical layer and upper layers, and we implement the long-range UANet as a Linux-based software. Graphic user interface (GUI) is also implemented to control and operate the Linux-based network software. In order to verify the function of the implemented UANet software, the physical layer is emulated by a software program and the scenarios are configured for each layer to confirm the core functions of each protocol.
