Energy Efficiency of Multi-Hop Underwater Acoustic Networks Using Fountain Codes

Ensuring low energy consumption is a crucial issue in underwater communications, since battery replacement may be difficult and expensive in these scenarios. We analyze in this paper the energy consumption of a multi-hop underwater acoustic network (UWAN) employing fountain codes. Moreover, in order...
