A software-defined multi-modal wireless sensor network for ocean monitoring by Hanjiang Luo, Xu Wang, Ziyang Xu, Chao Liu, Jeng-Shyang Pan

“…We first present the software-defined networking-based multi-modal network architecture, and then explore two examples of applications with this architecture: network deployment and coverage for intrusion detection with both grid-based and random deployment scenarios, and a novel underwater testbed design by incorporating radio frequency–acoustic multi-modal techniques to facilitate marine sensor network experiments. Finally, we evaluate the performance of deployment and coverage of software-defined networking-based multi-modal wireless sensor network through simulations with several scenarios to verify the effectiveness of the network.…”
