Abstract

The development of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) is attracting more and more attentions. The MAC layer protocols which are the important part of the network, dominate the method of each node sharing the channel, thus affect the performance of throughput, latency, energy consumption and other aspects of the network. In this paper, an improved time-division underwater multiple access protocol is discussed, which allocates slots for each node according to the distance. The simulation reveals that the improved protocol has lower latency, better throughput performance, and higher energy efficiency than random access protocol CSMA/CA and handshake protocol Slotted- FAMA
