Cascading Multi-Hop Reservation and Transmission in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
The long propagation delay in an underwater acoustic channel makes designing an underwater media access control (MAC) protocol more challenging. In particular, handshaking-based MAC protocols widely used in terrestrial radio channels have been known to be inappropriate in underwater acoustic channel...
