Abstract:The integration of underwater acoustic networks and Beidou offers an effective technical solution for real-time, in-situ, and three-dimensional cross-domain transmission of underwater information. For Marine environmental monitoring applications, this study presents the design of a cross-domain transmission system for underwater sensor information based on Beidou and an underwater acoustic network, along with a sea trial. The system comprises multiple underwater sensor nodes and a cross-media node equipped with Beidou modules. It provides details on the physical layer, MAC layer, and routing layer of the underwater acoustic network system, as well as the interface design of the Beidou module. The sea trial demonstrates complete consistency between original marine environment sensor data and underwater acoustics-Beidou cross-domain transmission shore-based received data, with an underwater network connectivity rate of 92.5% and an average end-to-end delay of 101.43s for the underwater part, thus preliminarily verifying the effectiveness of cross-domain data transmission using Beidou-underwater acoustic network.
