  • A distance aware protocol for underwater acoustic Communication Networks
    National Doctoral Academic Forum on Information and Communications Technology 2013, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jiarong Zhang, Gang Qiao, Can Wang
    Abstract:

    Energy consumption and channel access time are two of the most crucial design issues in underwater acoustic Communication Networks since prolonging the network lifetime and improving the network throughput depends on the efficient energy resource management and channel access rules. This paper proposes an improved CSMA protocol for the underwater acoustic Communication Networks which are characterized by long propagation delays. This protocol shortens the hand-shaking procedure by arranging the sending time in stagger according to the distance between the sender and the receiver. Nodes do not need to be synchronized, are half-duplex, and use the same transmission power. This protocol achieves a throughput much higher than that of the traditional CSMA protocol, while offering similar savings in energy. We have evaluated performance, efficiency and engineering feasibility of this protocol by both software simulations and semi-physical platform tests.

  • A full-duplex based protocol for underwater acoustic Communication Networks
    2013 OCEANS - San Diego, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jiarong Zhang, Gang Qiao, Can Wang
    Abstract:

    Energy consumption and channel access time are two of the most crucial design issues in underwater acoustic Communication Networks since prolonging the network lifetime and improving the network throughput depends on the efficient energy resource management and channel access rules. This paper proposes a new full-duplex based and distance aware channel access protocol for ad-hoc underwater acoustic Communication Networks. The protocol saves transmission energy by avoiding collisions while maximizing throughput, and solves the hidden/exposed terminal problems efficiently. It is based on the full-duplex Communication where we virtually separate the channel into two portions, using different frequency bands and different modulation/demodulation to transmit control packages and data packages separately. This protocol achieves a throughput several times higher than that of the traditional CSMA, while offering similar savings in energy. We have evaluated performance, efficiency and engineering feasibility of this protocol by both simulations and sea trails.

  • wireless powered Communication Networks an overview
    IEEE Wireless Communications, 2016
    Co-Authors: Suzhi Bi, Yong Zeng, Rui Zhang
    Abstract:

    Wireless powered Communication networking (WPCN) is a new networking paradigm where the battery of wireless Communication devices can be remotely replenished by means of microwave wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. WPCN eliminates the need for frequent manual battery replacement/recharging, and thus significantly improves the performance over conventional battery-powered Communication Networks in many aspects, such as higher throughput, longer device lifetime, and lower network operating cost. However, the design and future application of WPCN is essentially challenged by the low WPT efficiency over long distance, and the complex nature of joint wireless information and power transfer within the same network. In this article, we provide an overview of the key networking structures and performance enhancing techniques to build an efficient WPCN. In addition, we point out new and challenging future research directions for WPCN.
