Abstract

We describe the newest design and development of the Sapienza University Networking framework for underwater Simulation Emulation and real-life Testing (SUNSET), a powerful toolkit for implementation and testing of novel protocol solutions for underwater sensor networks. SUNSET enables testing and enhancement of underwater solutions using a controlled simulation environment. The very simulation code can be then transparently ported to various real hardware and underwater platforms for protocol emulation and actual in field testing. SUNSET was the first open source framework for seamless simulation, emulation and actual at sea testing of novel underwater systems. The first SUNSET was presented in 2011 [1], improved in 2012 [2] and freely released to the research community in May 2012. Since then, SUNSET has been significantly improved and validated through several trials at sea. New modules have been created and the functionalities of existing ones have been extended and enhanced. The new SUNSET version 2.0 has been recently released to the community (October 2013 [3]). This paper discusses in details the SUNSET 2.0 features and modules, and report about the latest in field tests where SUNSET 2.0 has been used.
