在本文中，我们提出了一个分布式的，可扩展的，节能的媒体访问控制（MAC）协议，尽管长，未知的传播延迟的水声介质的工作。该协议可用于能量受限节点间的水下生态传感器网络等延迟容忍应用。我们的协议显着不同ALOHA，多路访问与冲突避免（MACA），和无线局域网（MACAW）的媒体访问协议中，能源是主要的性能指标，在我们的情况下，而不是带宽利用率。我们表明，在一个现实的水下传感器网络的情况下，我们的MAC协议浪费只有4%的发送能量，只有1.5%的接收能量，由于碰撞，当邻居的平均数量为4，占空比为0.004。这种分布式的，可扩展的MAC协议有可能作为一个底漆的能源效率的MAC协议，为未来的水下传感器网络的发展。
In this paper, we propose a distributed, scalable, energy-efficient media access control (MAC) protocol that works despite long, unknown propagation delays of the underwater acoustic medium. This protocol can be used for delay-tolerant applications such as underwater ecological sensor networks between energy-limited nodes. Our protocol differs significantly from ALOHA, multiple access with collision avoidance (MACA), and the media access protocol for wireless LANs (MACAW) in that energy is the main performance metric in our case rather than bandwidth utilization. We show that under a realistic underwater sensor network scenario, our MAC protocol wastes only 4% of the transmit energy and only 1.5% of the receive energy due to collisions, when the average number of neighbors is four, and the duty cycle is 0.004. This distributed, scalable MAC protocol has the potential to serve as a primer for the development of energy-efficient MAC protocols for future underwater sensor networks.
