针对水下无线信道的物理特性，提出了水下无线网络的多模式通信方法。这些措施包括使用声学和光学技术进行距离相关的传输。软件定义网络（SDN）是管理这些具有多模式通信能力的网络的一个有吸引力的选择，可以提高UWN设计的适应性。在这项工作中，我们开发了一个软件定义的水下无线网络（SDUWNs）的仿真平台。与OpenNet类似，该平台通过TapBridge模块将Mininet与ns-3集成在一起。通过为每个ns-3节点配备多个网络设备来实现多模式通信。多个通道模块连接相应的网络设备，以反映通道特性。在海洋数据采集的案例研究中，所提出的仿真平台进行了验证。
Multi-modal communication methods have been proposed for underwater wireless networks (UWNs) to tackle the challenging physical characteristics of underwater wireless channels. These include the use of acoustic and optic technology for range-dependent transmissions. Software-defined networking (SDN) is an appealing choice for managing these networks with multi-modal communication capabilities, allowing for increased adaptability in the UWN design. In this work, we develop a simulation platform for software-defined underwater wireless networks (SDUWNs). Similarto OpenNet, this platform integrates Mininet with ns-3 via TapBridge modules. The multi-modal communication is implemented by equipping each ns-3 node with multiple net devices. Multiple channel modules connecting corresponding net devices are configured to reflect the channel characteristics. The proposed simulation platform is validated in a case study for oceanographic data collection.
