Employing contention-based medium access control (MAC) protocols in underwater sensor
networks (UWSNs) is typically costly. This is due to the unique characteristics of underwater …

Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) utilise acoustic waves with comparatively lower loss
and longer range than those of electromagnetic waves. However, energy remains a …

In this paper, we propose an underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) named SOUNET
where sensor nodes form and maintain a tree-topological network for data gathering in a self …

Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), which adopt acoustic communication, have
been widely used underwater, such as in oceans and rivers, for monitoring applications …

Mobile underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) including autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs) and/or unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) have wide ocean …

The research of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) has gained much attention
because of its wide applications, such as environmental monitoring and seabed oil …

The transmission rate between two nodes is usually very low in underwater acoustic
networks due to the low available bandwidth of underwater acoustic channels. Therefore …

This work tackles the problem of conventional reinforcement learning scheme which has a
relatively long training time to reduce energy consumption in underwater network. The …

Acoustic waves for underwater data transmission incur narrow channel bandwidth, low
transmission rate and long propagation delay that must be taken into account in the media …
