Abstract

Due to the unique characteristics of long signal propagation, high error rate and low bandwidth in the underwater environment, the design of the medium access control (MAC) protocol for underwater acoustic networks poses significant challenges. The previous MAC protocols designed for flexible communication models have limited achievements in performance. In this paper, we consider a practical application and propose a data-centric multi-hop MAC protocol, called DC-MAC, to enhance the performance on throughput and average end-to-end packet transmission delay. Our design uses multi-channel strategy to limit transmission interference by creating multiple collision domains, and dynamic collision-free polling strategy to offer efficient protocol handshake. We analyze the saturation throughput performance and conduct extensive simulation experiments to study the throughput and delay performance. Comparing to slotted FAMA which is a potential MAC protocol candidate for the same environment, our results show that DC-MAC outperforms its peer.
