Abstract EN
Utilizing wireless sensor network (WSN) to monitor the marine environment is one of the major techniques in oceanographic monitoring, and how to increase the limited communication distance between the buoys in WSN has become a hot research issue.
In this paper, a new technique called precise-orientation-beamforming (POB) which uses the beamforming algorithm to increase the communication distance between buoys is presented.
As was widely applied in the radar and sonar, the beamforming method was not used to extend the communication distance between buoys so far.
The POB method overcomes the unstable position of buoys caused by waves by implementing the orientation filter.
The whole process includes two steps: First, the real-time attitude of the antenna array is calculated by the orientation filter.
With the known relative direction of the destination node to the antenna array, the second step is to control phased array antenna beamforming parameters, directing the beam at the destination node.
The POB scheme has been simulated under the condition of regular waves.
The results reveal that POB provides significant power gains and improves the distance between two communicating nodes effectively.
