Abstract
In this paper, we present a simulator based on NS2 for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs), named Aqua-Sim, which simulates the attenuation of underwater acoustic channels and the collision behaviors effectively. In addition, Aqua-Sim supports 3D network deployment and provides some MAC and routing protocols. Through communication between two nodes and localization of unknown nodes, the application examples of Aqua-Sim are shown. We also present the graphical user interface of Aqua-3D using an example application.
