Abstract

(No formal abstract, but this demonstration abstract describes our demonstration of the SNUSE Underwater Acoustic modem. We demonstrate both overall operation and to highlight the unique features of our modem. We show end-to-end data transmission (PC-to-PC, through motes operating as NICs, modems, and hydrophones in water). We show the energy conservation of wake-up tone triggered activation. Finally, we show how our our bit-synchronization algorithm handles clock drift and Doppler shifts during packet transmission by re-synchronize after repeated partial errors.)
