— Unlike terrestrial networks that mainly rely on radio waves for communications, underwater networks utilize acoustic waves, which have comparatively lower loss and longer range...
In this paper, a CDMA-based medium access control (MAC) scheme in underwater acoustic sensor networks is proposed, in which a periodic sleeping mode is jointly employed for the pu...
