“…In this paper, we classify underwater MAC protocols into contention-free (i.e., schedule-based), contention-based (i.e., reservation-based), and hybrid. Contention-free MAC protocols reserve a shared channel for a specific node based on frequency, code, or time [ 34 ]. Contention-based MAC protocols are further classified into random access and handshaking-based.…”

“…This table shows that there are eight common performance metrics (i.e., E2ED, EC, PDR, EE, TC, Thpt, COR, and FI). In our earlier work [ 34 ], we evaluated the E2ED, EC, PDR, TC, and Thpt. To provide a complete analysis, it is necessary to conduct further analysis regarding EE, COR, and FI.…”

“…This known schedule determines when each node should wake up to transmit its own data packets or to receive packets from neighboring nodes. This schedule helps to avoid collisions between data packets coming from different nodes, aligns the sleep schedule to the data schedule, and hence improves the network’s performance, in terms of E2ED, EC, PDR, TC, and Thpt [ 34 ]. To provide a full analysis of the proposed protocol, we focused on evaluating the impact of all MAC protocols in terms of EE, COR, and FI.…”

“…Furthermore, we consider concurrent transmissions to enhance channel use and hence increase network throughput. Consequently, the proposed protocol can outperform well-known MAC protocols in terms of E2ED, EC, PDR, TC, and Thpt [ 34 ]. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: Identify the most efficient MAC protocol approach for a pipeline topology over multi-hop for time-sensitive applications relative to the EE, COR, and FI.…”

In a channel shared by several nodes, the scheduling algorithm is a key factor to avoiding collisions in the random access-based approach. Commonly, scheduling algorithms can be used to enhance network performance to meet certain requirements. Therefore, in this paper we propose a Delay-Aware Media Access Control (DAMAC) protocol for monitoring time-sensitive applications over multi-hop in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs), which relies on the random access-based approach where each node uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) to determine channel status, switches nodes on and off to conserve energy, and allows concurrent transmissions to improve the underwater communication in the UASNs. In addition, DAMAC does not require any handshaking packets prior to data transmission, which helps to improve network performance in several metrics. The proposed protocol considers the long propagation delay to allow concurrent transmissions, meaning nodes are scheduled to transmit their data packets concurrently to exploit the long propagation delay between underwater nodes. The simulation results show that DAMAC protocol outperforms Aloha, BroadcastMAC, RMAC, Tu-MAC, and OPMAC protocols under varying network loads in terms of energy efficiency, communication overhead, and fairness of the network by up to 65%, 45%, and 726%, respectively.

Underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is used to monitor the compactness of ocean surveillance, marine and harsh underwater environment. In this article, an efficient energy consumption and delay aware autonomous data gathering routing protocol (ADGRP) scheme based on deep learning (dl) mobile edge model (mem) and beetle antennae search algorithm (BASA) for UWSN is proposed to overcome above problems. ADGRP is used to gather more data from the underwater environment by the use of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). DL-MEM is used to increase the network life time. Then the deep learning parameters are optimized by using BAS. The objective function is "to increase the efficiency and lifetime of network by decreasing the energy consumptions and delay." The simulation process is carried out in MATLAB site. The proposed ADGRP-DL-MEM-BASA provides lower energy consumption 20.83%, 34.66%, 18.03%, 20.92%, 22.34%, lower energy drop 7.85%, 23.94%, 17.93%, 21.93%, 31.94% is compared with the existing energy-efficient probabilistic depth-based routing (EEPDBR-UWSN), ordered contention MAC (OCMAC-UWSN), Q-learning based energy-efficient and void avoidance routing protocol for underwater acoustic sensor networks (QL-EEBDG-UWSN), energy-efficient depth-base opportunistic routing along Q-learning for underwater wireless sensor networks (EDORQ-UWSN), channel-aware reinforcement learning-based multipath adaptive routing for underwater wireless sensor networks (CARMA-EE-UWSN) respectively.

Most existing passive allocation‐based media access control (MAC) protocols for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) overlook the fairness issue in channel bandwidth allocation, resulting in certain nodes occupying channel resources for extended periods, thereby leading to low channel utilization. To address this issue, this paper proposes a fair MAC protocol based on dual bandwidth allocation iterations (FBA‐MAC). Firstly, by limiting the maximum number of packets and the maximum number of available time slots that the host node can receive in each communication cycle, the protocol reduces collisions and collisions more effectively, thus controlling the communication delay. Secondly, in the process of channel bandwidth allocation, a dual bandwidth allocation iterative method was used to allocate appropriate channel bandwidth for each member node according to its communication requirements and the generation time of its generated data packets. Finally, in order to minimize the time interval of each packet arriving at the host node to reduce the communication delay, the transmission scheduling scheme was adaptively adjusted by combining the results of channel bandwidth allocation to maximize the channel utilization. Simulation results indicate that compared to the other four MAC protocols, FBA‐MAC demonstrates significant advantages in terms of fairness (10% higher), achieving higher network throughput (10% higher) and shorter end‐to‐end delay. Therefore, FBA‐MAC exhibits superior adaptability and efficiency in dynamic network environments.
