An Adaptive OFDMA-Based MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensor Networks
Underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UAWSNs) have many applications across various civilian and military domains. However, they suffer from the limited available bandwidth of acoustic signals and harsh underwater conditions. In this work, we present an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based Media Access Control (MAC) protocol that is configurable to suit the operat...
متن کاملA MACA-based MAC protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
The medium access control (MAC) protocol design of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) faces many challenges: the power limitation at nodes, long propagation delay, low data rates, etc. These challenges of underwater acoustic channels result in the unsuitable usage of terrestrial networks MAC protocol in UWASNs. Moreover, the long propagation delay causes a serious problem for the MAC ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Slot TDMA MAC Protocol for Underwater Sensor Networks
In this study, we introduce a new media access control (MAC) protocol that adaptively changes time division multiple access (TDMA) frame size and slot duration in order to upgrade performance of underwater sensor networks. Throughput of underwater sensor networks is very low compared to a radio frequency (RF) network; the reason is a very long propagation delay and a very low bit rate. To solve...
