Abstract
Non-Conventional media viz. underground and underwater based wireless sensor networks witness many applications such as habitat, mining, pipeline monitoring, etc. In this paper, the concept of a 3-Dimensional (3D) multi-layer transceiver coil structure is proposed. The performance is analyzed in terms of power received and the maximum achievable communication range. The effect of three N-Conv media, viz. seawater, freshwater, and dry soil is investigated for each transceiver coil configuration. Additionally, a 3D multi-layer coil-based Magnetic Induction waveguide structure is incorporated to improve the communication range, which enhances the straight-line communication coverage. Delaunay triangulation and centroid methods are used for optimal relay coil placement. Besides, the 3D-waveguides are deployed in a tree-based topology which provides broad-view communication coverage.
