UA-MAC: An Underwater Acoustic Channel Access Method for Dense Mobile Underwater Sensor Networks

The long propagation delay and low data rate characteristics of acoustic communication attach many challenges to underwater wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a TDMA based underwater acoustic channel access method (UA-MAC) is proposed mainly to improve channel utilization in dense mobile under...
