Short Paper: Performance Analysis of a MACA based Protocol for Adhoc Underwater Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents novel performance analysis of a MACAbased MAC protocol for underwater networks. MACA is very popular in terrestrial radio networks (such as 802.11) and many papers have presented its performance analysis. However, previously published analysis of such protocols for radio wireless networks typically do not account for propagation delay, high detection and decoding errors that characterize underwater networks and also do not derive closed form expressions for essential metrics. Some analysis on similar protocols has been done for underwater networks as well but there are significant differences in protocol models and analysis methodology. The analysis in this paper incorporates these additional factors and we derive analytical closed form expressions for mean service time and throughput for such a protocol. The analytical results match simulation results well. We also present preliminary sea trial results of modem implementation of the protocol that match the analysis well.

The long propagation delay in an underwater acoustic channel makes designing an underwater media access control (MAC) protocol more challenging. In particular, handshaking-based MAC protocols widely used in terrestrial radio channels have been known to be inappropriate in underwater acoustic channels, because of the inordinately large latency involved in exchanging control packets. Furthermore,...

متن کاملAn efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks
An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...
