Abstract

Ad hoc underwater acoustic networks represent a very challenging
field in digital communications due to the extreme nature of the underwater
acoustic channel and also the requirement to meet critical needs in order to
establish long range propagation, decentralisation and reliability.
As a fact the underwater acoustic communications speed is five times less
than the magnitude of the radio waves, and this makes the underwater
acoustic suffer from high propagation delay and minimum throughput.
This paper discusses the influence of the backoff windows on the ad hoc on
demand Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) protocol.
Underwater Acoustic Media Access Control (UAMAC) is implemented in a
NS2 simulator to adopt the Multiple Access Collision Avoidance and
Acknowledgment (MACAW) scheme. The simulation results for the
developed system are presented.
