Abstract :
The Network Simulator (NS2) is simulation tool for networking research purpose. It is an open source code, so it can be modified and extended easily. This paper will present the underwater acoustic channel model and how it has been implemented in NS2 instead of the free-space channel. The acoustic propagation, noise, attenuation and transmission power threshold are discussed. Validation of the developed underwater acoustic model has been presented and compared with analytical results.
