Abstract

Ocean covers nearly 71 % of our planet’s surface and deploying wireless sensor networks on the sea can perform monitoring tasks over the oceans. With some applications, we may deploy sensors both on the sea surface and underwater which forms a Hybrid Ocean Sensor Networks (HOSNs). In this paper, we discussed a localization scheme with the hybrid wireless sensor networks which combines the advantages of Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and Underwater acoustic-sensor networks (UWA-SNs). We first introduced the structure of the hybrid wireless sensor networks and its applications, then we discussed a localization schemes MLA for moored nodes deployed underwater. We present the related work and finally discussed our future research of the hybrid ocean wireless sensor networks.
