This paper concerns the smart exploitation of multimodal communication capabilities of
underwater nodes to enable reliable and swift underwater networking. To contrast adverse …

We describe the implementation of a protocol stack for multi-modal underwater networks,
where multiple physical layer technologies are available to each node. This condition …

In most existing sender-initiated handshaking based underwater Media Access Control
(MAC) protocols, only the initiating sender is allowed to transmit data packets to its intended …

Ocean exploration, through the development of oceanobservation systems, has been
recognized as a key step toward a fuller understanding of life on Earth. With the rapid …

While acoustic communications are still considered the most prominent technology to
communicate under water, other technologies are being developed based, eg, on optical …

We propose a location-free link state routing protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor
Networks (UASNs). Additionally, we present the mathematical background for the theoretical …

This paper introduces T-Lohi, a new class of distributed and energy-efficient media-access
protocols (MAC) for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWSN). MAC design for UWSN …

Interest in underwater sensor networks has increased recently due to the possibility of using
autonomous underwater vehicles and sensors to explore the oceans and monitor …

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) are often used for environmental and
industrial sensing in undersea/ocean space, therefore, these networks are also named …
