Towards a Secure Medium Access Control Protocol for Cluster-Based Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
The unique characteristics of high bit error rate, low bandwidth, and long propagation delay in underwater environments pose significant challenges to the design of the medium access control (MAC) protocol for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). Clustering is an effective and practical way...
