- This paper introduces the idea of using the only available dimension information, depth, in the localization-agnostic environment of acoustic UWSNs to develop a scalable MAC protocol. The proposed protocol is a distributed reservation-based protocol which employs a novel duty cycle mechanism to schedule a listen and sleep modes period for each node to save energy while the spatial-temporal uncertainty and the hidden node problem are also effectively addressed to avoid collisions and retransmissions. This approach is, in particular, of high interest for deep water scenarios such as off-shore oilfields applications.
