Characterization and network consequences of low spreading loss in underwater acoustic networks

This thesis presents several related pieces of work on underwater acoustic networks (UANs). Underwater wireless networks generally use acoustics, as radio is heavily attenuated and light is strongly scattered underwater. UANs are becoming more widely deployed for scientific, environmental, industria...
