ABSTRACT
A medium access control (MAC) protocol is proposed that is suitable for non-synchronized ad-hoc networks, and in particular for the energy-constrained underwater acoustic networks which are characterized by long propagation delays. The protocol exploits the difference in the link lengths between the nodes instead of using waiting times proportional to the maximal link length. To do so, it relies on a receiver's ability to tolerate a certain level of interference. By minimizing the length of the hand-shake procedure preceeding the data transmission, the throughput efficiency is increased as compared to the previously proposed protocols, while collision avoidance minimizes the energy consumption.

Understanding spatio-temporal uncertainty in medium access with ALOHA protocols
WUWNet '07: Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Underwater NetworksThe goal of this paper is understand how location-dependent propagation latency affects medium access control (MAC) by using ALOHA as a case study. MAC protocols in underwater acoustic networks suffer from latency that is five orders-of-magnitude larger ...
Reinforcement Learning-Based MAC Protocol for Underwater Multimedia Sensor Networks
