I am looking for any source of information that describes how often an underwater wireless communication network is utilised on a certain day. For example, if you consider an underwater wireless sensor network to monitor water temperature, pH, salinity etc., how frequently do the sensors upload the data to the sink and the surface base station? I am trying to create a data communication traffic distribution pattern for underwater networks over a period of 24 hours.
Any journal articles, conference papers, or even legitimate websites that talk about this topic will be helpful.
Dear Kazi,
You ask about the physical model for distributing underwater sensors to monitor the properties of the water.
There is the see water. There is also the river water and there are lakes and pools.
Also there is also the distance of the sensor from the surface.
So, there is no specific answer for your question. I think it is very application oriented.
On the other side as the water is fluid, any concentration gradients of salt or temperature tend to decay with time because of the water molecular motion.
The best method to solve this problem is to make preliminary site surveying.
Or design your network to be able to increase the sampling time and adjust the distance between the elements of the wireless sensor arrays to achieve full observation of the intended water volume. As the wireless sensor nodes are based on microcontrollers they cab be reconfigured to Mach your needs.
These are different approaches to solve you problem.
Best wishes

Try with fixed periodic data reporting: L bytes each T s. L can be a few hundred of bytes, e.g. 200 and T can be 100 s.
Hi, I'm not sure about what you intend. Do you want to design such a network? Are you sniffing on an existing network traffic patterns?... I found this article about underwater networking... not sure if it's oriented towards your goals or not...

Abdelhalim abdelnaby Zekry Yes you are right, the traffic pattern is very application-oriented - which is why I believe there are no such distributions available in the literature. I believe I am going to go with a sea-water application scenario with sensors monitoring water conditions such as temperature, pH, and turbulence, and assume a periodical reporting scheme as David Fernández Piñas mentioned. I would then estimate how much data is gathered and then uploaded to the base station during a 24-hour period. That should produce a sensible traffic pattern over that period.
