Abstract

Underwater acoustic networks have become a very active research area during the past half decade. Compared with terrestrial radio networks, underwater acoustic networks are characterized by low available bandwidth, long propagation delays and high channel dynamics, which pose significant challenges to the design and analysis of almost every core networking problem [1], including medium access control (MAC), routing, and reliable data transfer. In this paper, we study a previously overlooked problem named the busy terminal problem, which is significantly impacts underwater MAC.
