UANSim

The Underwater Acoustic Network Simulator (UANSim) is a simulator of underwater network protocols designed to allow researchers with MATLAB programming experience to experiment with existing underwater network protocols.

1. Supported Protocol Stack

1. Application Layer Protocols
   • Constant bitrate data source
2. Network Layer Protocols
   • Flooding
   • Depth-based routing (DBR)
   • Resilient pressure-based routing (RPR)
   • Depth-based probabilistic routing (DPR)
3. Link Layer Protocols
   • ALOHA
4. Physical Layer Protocols
5. Physical Channel Model
   • Thorp's propagation model (single path, spreading loss, frequency-dependent absorption loss)
   • Ideal propagation model (single path, no path loss)
   • Ambient channel noise (turbulance, shipping, surface waves, and thermal)
   • Additive white Gaussian noise model
   • Support multipath propagation using Power Delay Profiles The simulation configuration is controlled through a MATLAB script.
