Full title and description

STB BS ISO/IEC 30140-3:2018 — Information technology — Underwater acoustic sensor network (UWASN) — Part 3: Entities and interface. This part of the ISO/IEC 30140 series specifies the entities that make up underwater acoustic sensor networks and describes the interfaces between physical and functional entities to support interoperability and architecture alignment for UWASN deployments.

Abstract

The 30140 series provides general requirements, a reference architecture and high-level interface guidelines to support interoperability among underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs). Part 3 defines and describes the various entities in a UWASN and the interfaces between different physical and functional entities, supporting system design, integration and conformance activities for underwater acoustic networking systems.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 30140 specifies the various entities forming an Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UWASN) reference architecture and describes the interfaces between different physical and functional entities. It is intended to support interoperability, system design and integration for underwater acoustic sensing and communication systems and to be used alongside other parts of the 30140 series (overview, reference architecture, interoperability, management and application profiles).

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of UWASN entities (sensors, gateways, sinks, relays, surface/shore nodes, mobile nodes, etc.).
• Description of interfaces between physical entities and functional entities to ensure consistent interaction patterns.
• High-level interface guidelines supporting interoperability among heterogeneous UWASN components.
• Normative references and vocabulary alignment (for example referencing Sensor Network Reference Architecture work such as ISO/IEC 29182-2).
• Architectural role mapping to other parts of the 30140 series to facilitate conformance and integration.

Typical use and users

Used by system architects, network and protocol designers, sensor manufacturers, integrators, research organizations and agencies developing or deploying underwater acoustic sensor networks. Typical applications include environmental monitoring, oceanographic data collection, underwater surveillance, resource monitoring and scientific research where interoperable acoustic sensing and communications are required.

Related standards
