  Abstract

As the demand for the applications of underwater wireless communications increases, the importance of the underwater acoustic network (UANet) technology is emerging. In this paper, we discuss the experimental results for a long-range underwater acoustic communication network (LR-UANet) with a hop-to-hop communication range of up to 30 km. The LR-UANet runs on the linux operating system and consists of a data link layer, a network layer, an application layer, and the interfaces interconnecting and integrating each different layer. The risk of sea-test is minimized by using the real-time channel simulator to verify the essential features of the LR-UANet before sea-tests. In the sea-trials of South sea, we verify several functionalities of the LR-UANet, including medium access control scheduling, constructing and updating a geometric map for nodes, routing for uplink and downlink paths, and transmitting and receiving continual data.
