Wireless communication in marine environments is hindered by the unique properties of seawater and the rugged ocean floor. In contrast to land-based communication, underwater conditions are distinct due to the specific characteristics of seawater. This research explores the potential of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to enhance the monitoring of seaweed farms and underwater properties. As seaweed production is vital for the development of nutritional products, biochemical compounds, and pharmacological research, optimizing its monitoring is crucial. The goal of this study is to leverage NFV to support various aquatic activities. To achieve this, a chain of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) is proposed to manage service flows, capitalizing on the advancements in NFV. The research employs both simulation and analytical Stochastic Network Calculus (SNC) models to evaluate key performance indicators, including delay bounds, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and energy utilization. Notably, the SNC-based NFV model outperforms simulation results, demonstrating superior performance and potential for improved packet delivery and throughput.Refference:
