  • Abstract
    A lightweight MAC and network layer protocol suite for underwater acoustic communication has been developed. The protocol suite covers the MAC layer, hop-by-hop acknowledgement, multi-hop routing and transmission and includes a network discovery and route generation module. The protocols are currently implemented in a simulator for verification and performance evaluation. By summer 2009 the protocols will be implemented in real underwater modems as part of a project demonstrator.
