无线传感器网络(WSN)是一种分布式的基于事件的系统，由微小的节点组成，能够用有限的电池、低处理功率和短距离无线电通信来感知环境现象。传感器网络的大部分应用涉及对温度、压力、湿度或物体位置等标量传感器的感知，这些传感器可以通过低带宽和延迟容忍的数据流进行传输。经过十多年的研究，已经成熟了传统无线传感器网络的通信协议、传感器技术、带宽、能量效率和寿命。近年来，人们对水下无线传感器网络(UWSN)的兴趣也带来了该领域的各种技术进步，然而，这些进步也面临着许多传统无线传感器网络所没有的挑战。本文讨论了为珊瑚礁监测等应用建立水下传感器网络解决方案所面临的技术挑战和可用的技术。
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are distributed event-based systems comprising of tiny nodes capable of sensing the environmental phenomena with a limited battery, low processing power and short-range radio for communication. Most of the applications of sensor network are concerned with sensing scalar sensor such as temperature, pressure, humidity, or location of objects that can be conveyed through low-bandwidth and delay-tolerant data streams. More than a decade's research has matured communication protocols, sensor technology, bandwidth, energy efficiency and lifetime of traditional WSNs. The recent interest in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has resulted in various technological advances in the domain as well however, these advances have faced many challenges that are not seen in traditional WSNs. This paper discusses the technical challenges and available technologies that can be used to establish an underwater sensor network solution for applications such as monitoring of coral reefs.
