Note:In this project, he designed and implemented a lab testbed for underwater wireless networks. This system was built to explore the various properties of and to test and develop theories for underwater sensor networks, with an initial focus on real parameters in the underwater channel and characterizing the performance this has on an underwater sensor network. The testbed has been developed by first constructing the physical acoustic environment in the lab and providing APIs to the potential users. By introducing the concept of virtual nodes, the topology that has the maximal degree equals the number of modems available could be emulated. Some experiment results have also been collected. In addition, a geographic routing protocol called VBF has been implemented based on the APIs he provides for the testbed. This testbed makes it possible for researchers to get more experience designing and implementing applications for realistic underwater environment before doing something sophisticated and interesting.
