Introduction
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) has recently become a prominent area of research in the field of acoustic communications. Acoustic waves are the most accurate means of achieving adequate transmission range and data rate in underwater communications. New progresses achieved in UWSN communications make reliable data transmission across several meters conceivable. Many studies have been investigated on developing networking solutions for underwater networks, including acoustic channel modeling and physical layer transmission analysis as well as networking protocols. In radio channels, path loss depends on link length; whereas acoustic waves in underwater experience both frequency and link length dependent path loss. Furthermore, reflections from the water surface and sea bottom increase channel fading. All these factors are considered in the design of UWSN wireless systems. Hence, in UWSN communications, range and bandwidth are important bottlenecks. ...
