A Handshake Based Ordered Scheduling MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Local Area Networks

Underwater acoustic local area networks (UA-LANs) can be used to improve the coverage of an underwater network by introducing a tier of local area communications. Media access control (MAC) is a crucial issue for UA-LANs. Existing MAC protocols for terrestrial WLANs cannot be directly applied to UA-...
