Poster Abstract: Seastar Underwater Acoustic Local Area Network

local area networks (lan)

Overview The Seaweb Wide-Area Network (WAN) concept provides for Local-Area Networks (LANs) having a sophisticated central node that collects and fuses undersea data from a set of relatively simple peripheral nodes. In more general terms, localized clusters of nodes (e.g., sensors, crawlers, divers) assimilate as subnets through the formation of a LAN containing a central node and peripheral nodes distributed in an undersea region up to 1 km2. The Seaweb LAN with centralized or star topology is called "Seastar" and is motivated by the desire for an additional tier of local-area communications compatible with and complementary to Seaweb wide-area acoustic communications.
