State of the art in protocol research for underwater acoustic sensor networks

Abstract

Underwater networks of sensors have the potential to enable unexplored applications and to enhance our ability to observe and predict the ocean. In this paper, architectures for two-dimensional and three-dimensional underwater sensor networks are proposed. A detailed overview on the current solutions for medium access control, network, and transport layer protocols is given and open research issues are discussed.
