DCO-MAC: A Hybrid MAC Protocol for Data Collection in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
In underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), medium access control (MAC) is an important issue because of its potentially significant effect on the network performance. However, designing a suitable MAC protocol for the UASN is challenging because of the specific characteristics of the underwater...
