Stochastic Link Modeling of Static Wireless Sensor Networks Over the Ocean Surface

Despite the advantages that ocean surface Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have over traditional ocean monitoring methods, ocean surface WSN research suffers from the lack of an accurate model that describes the stability of wireless links among sensor nodes. In this paper, we investigate ocean surface waves' effects on the Line-of-Sight (LoS) link between static sensors in a WSN. Specifically, we d...
