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

In this paper, architectures for two-dimensional and three-dimensional underwater sensor networks are discussed. A detailed overview on the current solutions for medium access control, network, and transport layer protocols are given and open research issues are discussed. Categories and Subject Descriptors: C.2.2 [Computer-Communication Networks]: Network Protocols General Terms: Algorithms, Design, Performance, Reliability.
