RET-MAC: A New Fair MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network

In underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), the propagation delay of acoustic signals is much longer than Radio Frequency (RF). There is spatial unfairness problem caused by space-time uncertainty. Hence, the design of Medium Access Control (MAC) is a challenging issue. In underwater, it not onl...
