This research focuses on the comparison of the throughput performance of MAC protocols designed for underwater acoustic networks. Our emphasis was to study the key features of the existing MAC protocols for underwater acoustic communications and provide analytical analysis where feasible. We compared some selected underwater MAC protocols like UAN-ALOHA, CSMA, MACA, MACA-EA and S-FAMA and analyzed their throughputs. We chose to evaluate possible improvements in the throughput of S-FAMA by using the retry mechanism. We found the retry mechanism only showed marginal improvement in the throughput. The proposed mechanisms may not have practical efficacy, however, this mechanism may be helpful in saving energy of the sensor nodes by preventing the repetition of the entire transmission cycle. |
