Medium Access Control for Underwater Wireless Networks

PI: Prof. Jun Peng

This lab’s research focuses on medium access control (MAC) in distributed wireless networks [22-25]. Underwater wireless communications networks can enable many applications such as oceanographic data collection, pollution and environmental monitoring, seismic and tsunami predictions, and assisted navigation. Due to the fundamental differences between underwater acoustic propagation and terrestrial radio propagation, new criteria for the design of networking protocols. Dr. Peng is researching innovative, stable, and energy-efficient MAC schemes for underwater wireless.

The teachers will learn the use of simulation tools to assist in the evaluation of the effectiveness of proposed MAC protocols. They will also participate in the development of MAC schemes. The project would be appropriate for middle and high-school science, physics or technology teachers, and would strengthen curriculum in electromagnetic concepts such as wave propagation and acoustics.
