Research on MAC Protocol for UWA Sensor Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

The characteristics and environment of the underwater acoustic (UWA) sensor network require a MAC protocol to be suitable for the long propagation delay. So we put forward a suitable MAC protocol, referring to the AGENT protocol in this paper. We call this protocol C-AGENT-LPD, which means C-AGENT with Long Propagation Delay. And it makes full use of the spatial multiplexing of the UWA channel. Through the simulations, we can see that the protocol has better time delay and throughput performance than the other two MAC protocols.
