Underwater sensor networks consist of sensors and vehicles deployed to perform collaborative monitoring tasks over a given region. Underwater sensor networks will find applicatio...
Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are designed for data gathering and processing, with particular requirements: low hardware complexity, low energy consumption, special traff...
—In this paper, we study the node clustering problem in UnderWater Sensor Networks (UWSNs). We formulate the problem into a cluster-centric cost-based optimization problem with a...
