Abstract

UWASN (UnderWater Acoustic Sensor Network) is a kind of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) consisting of underwater acoustic sensor nodes, which can be deployed for real-time warship monitoring, oceanographic data collection, environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, etc. The design of a reliable data transfer protocol for UWASN is challenging [1] owing to the specific characteristics of acoustic channels: high error rates, high energy consumption, limited bandwidth, low transmission speed, and long and unstable packet delivery delay.
