Delay Tolerant

Delay tolerance is a major design concern for supporting underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UA-WSNs) to carry out tasks in harsh subsea environments. Due to the great difference between the underwater acoustic channel and the radio frequency channel, most of the existing routing protocols developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks perform poorly in underwater acoustic communications. In this work, we present a Neural-Q-Learning algorithm based delay tolerant protocol for UA-WSNs. Due to the advantages of the artificial neural network along with the Q-Learning algorithm, the ferry node is capable of determining an optimal route in a two-dimensional continuous space to relay packets effectively and efficiently between sensors. Simulation results show that the delivery delay and delivery cost of the network significantly decrease by maximizing the meeting probability between the ferry node and sensors.

In part years wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have shown great improvement and also have become trusted areas in research. A wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is made up of many wireless sensor nodes that provides the source field and sink of a wireless network. The ability to sense the surrounding nodes, computing and connecting to other nodes wirelessly provide the wireless sensor network s(WSNs).the application of WSN is seen in many areas like military application, tracking, monitoring remote environment, surveillance, healthcare department and so on. Because of wide application the challenges for better developed technology and improvement have increased .this paper discuss some of the recent and future trends of Wireless sensor network.

Wireless Links

This chapter presents the state-of-the-art of real-time communication in the challenging topic of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In real-time communication, the duration between the event which initiates the sending of a message, and the instant this message is received must be smaller than a known delay. Because topologies are extremely dynamic and not known priori, this type of constraint is very hard to meet in WSNs. In this chapter, the different communication protocols proposed in the literatures, together with their respective advantages and drawbacks, are discussed. We focus on MAC and routing because they are key layers in real-time communication. As most existing protocols are not suitable under realistic constraints where sensor nodes and wireless links are unreliable, we give, at the end of this chapter, some insights about future trends in designing real-time protocols. We hope to give the reader an overview of recent research works in this complex topic which we consider to be essential in critical applications.
