Abstract

The deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks at ocean provides on-site, distributed sensing of some specific events. To the existing satellite and airborne radar scrutinizing, providing incessant and real-time data feed. Due to the unforeseen conditions, it is not possible to imagine the location, size or weather circumstances affecting the region. We present a novel framework for a large-scale sensor network deployment at ocean. Our main objective is to develop communication algorithm to localize maritime monitoring using realistic channel and weather models. The design choices are based on the present application situations, through a bottom-up approach. Wireless channel and physical layer are fundamental for dependability of results, thus particular focus is given to their model assortment. The network architecture is based on a cluster model protocol with an application-specific decision. The aim is to provide the best compromise between, message delivery, energy consumption and network connectivity under dynamic change in environments.
