Abstract

We present a framework for the automated design of MAC protocols for underwater acoustic wireless networks. We formulate a protocol optimization problem in which the exchange of control packets is explicitly modeled. A protocol optimization program generates the optimal response functions to the reception of control packets. In a single MAC neighborhood, each node is modeled as having a behavioral model of the rest of the nodes in the network, where the node behavior is to be optimized. In this framework, we solve the problem of minimizing the average energy consumption of a network subject to a per-node minimum throughput constraint. Our results display the optimal responses for the scheduling of control and data packets for all of the nodes. This work serves as a starting point for the design of automation tools for MAC protocols in the future.
