Abstract

Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) is a useful technology that can be used in Underwater Surveillance System (USS). USSs are mostly used in military purposes for detecting underwater military activities. One of the most important issues in USS is mission reliability or survivability. Due to harsh underwater environment and mission critical nature of military applications, it is important to measure survivability of USS. Underwater sensor node failures can be detrimental for USS. To improve survivability in USS, we propose a fault-tolerant underwater sensor node model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fault-tolerant underwater sensor node model in USS that evaluates survivability of an USS. Â We develop Markov models for characterizing USS survivability and MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) to facilitate USS. Performance evaluation results show the effectiveness of proposed model.
