UW-ASNS: DESIGN CHALLENGES IN TRANSPORT LAYER

Reeta Mishra

Abstract: Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UW-ASN) consist of a variable number of sensors and vehicles that are deployed to perform collaborative monitoring tasks over a given area. This paper included a suggestion of using SCTP protocol in place of TCP to minimize many of the problem in transport layer of the sensor network designing part..As well as I have also suggest like an idea to improve the traffic shaping so problem like packet/data loss etc solved and regulate traffic rate is possible so temporary loss of connectivity can be solved. In this paper as possible even I have mention the challenges in various layer of UW-ASN design
