MAC for UWANs

The peculiar features of underwater communications cause MAC protocols proposed for RWNs unable to be used directly in UWANs, and many research results on UWAN MAC protocols are reported in the literature. This chapter reviews typical UWAN MAC protocols following the MAC reference model discussed in Chap. 3. The main reference for this chapter is (Jiang, IEEE Commun Surv Tutor, 2018, [1]).
