    • An adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for underwater acoustic networks 

      Petroccia, Roberto; Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Alves, João; Fioravanti, Stefano; Blouin, Stephane; Pecknold, Sean (2019/05)
      This short paper presents an adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs). The proposed solution, termed NADIR for Network Aware aDaptIve Routing, is fully distributed and self-adaptive. ...

    • Cooperative robotic networks for underwater surveillance: an overview 

      Ferri, Gabriele; Munafò, Andrea; Tesei, Alessandra; Braca, Paolo; Meyer, Florian; Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Petroccia, Roberto; Alves, João; Strode, Christopher; LePage, Kevin D. (CMRE, 2019/06)
      Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often costly and manpower intensive. Marine robotics is an ...

    • A modem design for underwater acoustic networking in the High North 

      Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Green, Dale; Fountzoulas, Yannis; Blouin, Stephane (CMRE, 2019/05)
      We design a software modem for long range underwater acoustic communications in ice-covered oceans. The modem is equipped with three coded modulation schemes achieving 1.8, 21.4 and 96.2 bps, respectively. In addition, we ...

    • Moving JANUS forward: a look into the future of underwater communications interoperability 

      Alves, João; Furfaro, Thomas C.; LePage, Kevin D.; Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Petroccia, Roberto; Zappa, Giovanni (CMRE, 2017/11)
      In the past 8 years, the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) has developed, tested and promoted JANUS - a robust and simple modulation and coding scheme to be used as the first standard to support ...

    • On adaptive modulation for low SNR underwater acoustic communications 

      Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Cazzanti, Luca (CMRE, 2019/05)
      This paper deals with adaptive underwater acoustic (UWA) communications where the receiver must operate at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The proposed modem is equipped with a set of direct sequence spread spectrum ...
