In this paper, we explore the feasibility of controlling an Underwater Autonomous Vehicle (AUV) from a base station, via a multi-hop wireless control channel. As a first step, we identify which networking and data-link protocols can be employed in this system. Then, we design a simple but effective routing protocol for this scenario. Finally, we simulate the performance of the system during missions of interest, and conclude by discussing the effectiveness of wireless multi-hop control methods for AUVs.

Abstract
In this paper, we explore the feasibility of controlling an Underwater Autonomous Vehicle (AUV) from a base station, via a multi-hop wireless control channel. As a first step, we identify which networking and data-link protocols can be employed in this system. Then, we design a simple but effective routing protocol for this scenario. Finally, we simulate the performance of the system during missions of interest, and conclude by discussing the effectiveness of wireless multi-hop control methods for AUVs.
