A Software-Defined Clustering Mechanism for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) are important technical means to explore the ocean realm. Clustering is a crucial strategy which determines the performance and the lifetime of UASNs significantly. As a technological innovation, software defined networking (SDN) separates the data plane f...
