“…Throughput of S-FAMA was found to be the highest (0.63), RCAMAC is (0.6), slightly less than S-FAMA. DACAP has throughput less (0.53) than S-FAMA and RCAMAC while UWAN-MAC's throughput is 0.46 [14].…”

“…It was noted that for the special case in which all the packets have the same duration, this fraction of receive energy wasted due to collisions reduces to the collision rate [28]. The transmit energy wasted due to collision in pure Aloha was higher than that of other ad-hoc-based MAC protocols [14].…”

This study aims at analyzing the performance of protocols designed for the control of Medium Access in the underwater environment using Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensor Networks (UW-ASNs). Oceans today, are playing an eminent part in monitoring climate, storing and releasing Carbon dioxide, supplying foodstuffs, and shipping. The sectors that can benefit most from this research are industries dealing with oil and gas, fisheries, UW instrumentation, armed forces, research and exploration bureaus, etc. Existing terrestrial Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol which mostly use radio waves for communications are unsuitable for underwater atmosphere. Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) using acoustic wireless networking finds application in the supporting tools for such applications. The unique properties of the UW acoustic communication path necessitate the need for new efficient, reliable MAC protocols to meet the challenges of propagation delay, multipath and fading and excessive power absorption at higher frequencies etc. Owing to the typical properties of acoustic wave propagation in the underwater atmosphere, the energy efficiency in UW-ASN is badly affected by the long propagation delay and data packet collisions, which hinders the transmission of the data packets that enables us to achieve collective monitoring tasks. This paper, present MAC protocols tailored for UWANs, the classification of MAC protocols, the state of the art, environment characteristics, challenges, and performance metrics in terms of throughput, propagation delay, energy consumption and quantitative analysis of some selected protocols. It also gives an insight of some challenges and open issues for future works. The analysis was made on UAN-CW-MAC protocol and UAN-Aloha, to understand the shape of the throughput curves for the protocol. The simulations were performed on network simulator ns3 to obtain the throughput curves for uan-cw mac with 20 nodes and uan-Aloha with 2-15 sensor nodes with one sink. The results obtained are shown for 20 simulation runs for each node.

“…T-Lohi does not solve the hidden station problem and does not perform well in multi-hop networking. The micro-modem proposed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) (Lee et al, 2013) is a small-footprint, low-power acoustic modem and has capability to be used as a low power tone receiver. It has also the capability to be used as a data receiver.…”

Packet collisions occurred by hidden and local nodes in multi-hop enabled underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) have effect on throughput, energy efficiency and end-to-end delay. Existing Multi-HopEnabled Energy Efficient MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (MHEE MAC) utilized a double-phase contention resolution mechanism, which causes visit multiple time slot and energy overhead. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol that use contention resolution mechanism with unique priority to provide energy efficiency. First, local nodes are eliminated comparing their priority and later, hidden nodes are mitigated. A simulation of proposed protocol is also developed to analyze the performance. Results obtained through simulation show that the proposed protocol achieves significantly lower energy consumption, reserve more energy and more stable throughput compared to MHEE-MAC, T-Lohi and slotted floor acquisition multiple access (S-FAMA).

Void hole avoidance routing algorithm for underwater sensor networks

A communication void is one of the most serious issues in any routing techniques. This issue occurs when a node does not have any forwarder node to forward the data packets towards the sink node or surface station. The presence of a void node affects the overall performance of routing techniques in terms of end‐to‐end delay, data loss, energy consumption, and so on. The primary objective of this work is to avoid the void region in underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). For the same purpose, this work introduces the void‐hole avoidance routing algorithm for UWSNs. This work avoids horizontal transmission, which further reduces the end‐to‐end delay. The residual energy, depth, holding time, and distance from the sending node to the forwarding node and forwarding node to the surface station are used as a matrix to select the best forwarder node. The simulation has been done on MATLAB to analyse the performance of the proposed algorithm. The proposed routing algorithm attained better performance using the metrics, namely packet delivery delay, number of dead nodes, and energy tax with the values of 0.9147, 48, and 72.14 by varying the transmission range, and 0.9184, 38, and 71.12 by varying the network size, respectively.
