Biography

Gordon A. Dickers [m] (gordon.dickers@smu.ac.uk) obtained a B. Sc. in electronic and electrical engineering from Swansea University in 1985 and an M. Sc. in computing with distinction from Cardiff University, United Kingdom, in 2001. He is currently a senior lecturer in the School of Applied Computing at Swansea Metropolitan University, where he has worked since 2001. He also worked as a software engineer and electronic design engineer in Lucas Aerospace, United Kingdom, after completing his first degree. He has taught in further and higher education institutions in the United Kingdom since 1991. His current research interests include medical signal processing, AI, computer graphics and vision, and computer networks. He is also a member of ...

Re-evaluation of RF electromagnetic communication in underwater sensor networks

Xianhui Che;Ian Wells;Gordon Dickers;Paul Kear;Xiaochun Gong

IEEE Communications Magazine
Year: 2010 | Volume: 48, Issue: 12 | Magazine Article |
Most underwater wireless networks use acoustic waves as the transmission medium nowadays, but the chances of getting much more out of acoustic modems are quite remote. Optical links are impractical for many underwater applications. Given modern operational requirements and digital communications technology, the time is now ripe for re-evaluating the role of electromagnetic signals in underwater en...Show More

Node pattern simulation of an undersea sensor network using RF electromagnetic communications

Ian Wells;Adam Davies;Xianhui Che;Paul Kear;Gordon Dickers;Xiaochun Gong;Mark Rhodes

2009 International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications & Workshops
Year: 2009 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (11)
Underwater sensor networks have traditionally used acoustic or optical technologies to enable communication between the network nodes. Electromagnetic communications, although ubiquitous in most atmospheric communications systems, it has been largely dismissed for use in underwater environments because of the huge attenuation of the signal in water. Very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic signals...Show More

Failure Tolerance Analysis of a Small Scale Underwater Sensor Network with RF Electromagnetic Communications

Xianhui Che;Ian Wells;Gordon Dickers;Paul Kear;Xiaochun Gong;Mark Rhodes

2009 Third International Conference on Sensor Technologies and Applications
Year: 2009 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
A small scale wireless sensor network was designed using electromagnetic technology in order to provide an underwater coastal monitoring service. The sensor nodes were deployed manually, which formed a multi-hop static topology for the network. Data delivery was scheduled via daily cycles of sleeping and waking-up. Due to the unique features of the network, ad-hoc on-demand distance vector was cho...Show More

A Static Multi-hop Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Using  RF Electromagnetic Communications

Xianhui Che;Ian Wells;Paul Kear;Gordon Dickers;Xiaochun Gong;Mark Rhodes

2009 29th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems Workshops
Year: 2009 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (29)
Most underwater sensor networks choose acoustics as the medium for wireless transmission. However, electromagnetic waves also offer great merits for transmission in special underwater environment. A small scale wireless sensor network is deployed using electromagnetic waves with a multi-hop static topology under shallow water conditions where there is a high level of sediment and aeration in the w...Show More
