            Abstract : 
Cardinality estimation of underwater network is somewhat troublesome using terrestrial node estimation methods due to unique characteristics of underwater environment such as large propagation latency, node mobility, non-negligible capture effect, and high error rate. For this reason, a cardinality estimation method based on cross-correlation of Gaussian signals is proposed for underwater network, in which different estimation parameters can be formulated from the cross-correlation function (CCF). Effect of signal strength on these estimation parameters is analyzed in this paper in order to find out the suitable estimation parameter for cross-correlation based technique.
