2 Literature Survey

Bubble plume conference work |{ Write latter.

Ismail et al. [2] analyzed the performance of UWASNs in terms of propagation loss by
considering the acoustic signal to be propagated through underwater ocean channel. The
authors considered only the inherent characteristics of the underwater channel from the
communication point of view. They have not considered the e ect of bubble plumes on the
communication performance. Stefanov and Stojanovic [3] analyzed the performance of
un-derwater acoustic ad-hoc networks in the presence of interference. They have
assumed the uniform distribution of nodes in the entire channel. They have modeled path
loss in inter-node communication to be frequency dependent, and have assumed Rician
distribution of acoustic fading. A recent work by Mandal et al. [4] studied the acoustic
signal perturbation characteristics due to the presence of near-surface bubble plumes in
underwater environ-ments. However, they did not consider the e ect of plumes on the
overall performance of underwater sensor networks.
