Abstract:

Low bandwidth, long propagation delay, and high transmission power consumption of underwater acoustic networks (UANs) make these systems fundamentally different from the terrestrial radio networks. As a consequence, the MAC protocols of terrestrial radio networks cannot be applied directly in underwater acoustic networks...
