EPASNet: Design and implementation of a test platform for underwater acoustic sensing network

  • 摘要: 随着对海洋信息获取、传输与处理的需求日益增加,水声传感网络在海洋资源开发,环境监测、水下无人平台等领域具有重要意义,得到了业界广泛重视。然而,由于海洋环境复杂多变,水声网络实验组织实施复杂度较高,当前大多水声网络协议性能评估停留在仿真阶段,尚缺少具备真实海洋环境下方便地开展水声网络技术方案研究的通用实验技术手段。本文设计并实现了一种水声传感网络试验平台(Experimental platform for acoustic sensor network, EPASNet),该试验平台由网络节点、跨介质节点、监控台模块及对应组网协议及性能分析评估系统组成,平台通过采集水声网络物理层、网络上层测试数据及海洋环境参数进行分析,具备对网络各项性能指标如传感器节点稳定性、网络效率等进行量化评估、海洋环境影响关联等功能;同时,在模块化设计框架下可进行水声网络技术方案灵活配置及运行实验。水池及海试实验结果表明了EPASNet试验平台进行网络技术方案评估分析的有效性,为水声传感网络研究及方案设计提供一种可部署于实际海洋环境下的方便实验技术手段。

     

    Abstract: With the increasing demand for Marine information acquisition, transmission and processing, underwater acoustic sensor networks are of great significance in the fields of Marine resource development, environmental monitoring, and underwater unmanned platforms, and have been widely valued by the industry. However, due to the complex and changeable Marine environment, the organization and implementation of underwater acoustic network experiment is relatively complicated. At present, most of the underwater acoustic network protocol performance evaluation stays in the simulation stage, and there is still a lack of general experimental technical means that can conveniently carry out the research of underwater acoustic network technical schemes in the real Marine environment. In this paper, an Experimental platform for acoustic sensor network (EPASNet) is designed and implemented. The test platform is composed of network node, cross-media node, monitoring console module, corresponding networking protocol and performance analysis and evaluation system. By collecting test data of physical layer and network upper layer of underwater acoustic network and analyzing Marine environmental parameters, the platform has the functions of quantitative evaluation of network performance indicators such as sensor node stability and network efficiency, and correlation of Marine environmental impact. At the same time, the flexible configuration and operation experiment of underwater acoustic network can be carried out under the framework of modular design. The experimental results of pool and sea test show the effectiveness of EPASNet test platform to evaluate and analyze network technology schemes, and provide a convenient experimental technical means for underwater acoustic sensor network research and scheme design.
