- This study is the first to introduce the concept of layered-area in order to use the only available dimension information, depth, in the localization-agnostic environment of acoustic UWSNs in order to develop a collision-free reservation-based MAC protocol. The aquatic network area is divided into a number of horizontal layers, to remove vertical collisions. Also, a distributed clustering approach for one-hop neighbouring nodes is used to eliminate any horizontal conflict between nodes in each layer-type. This protocol was used later on as a basis to develop a cross-layer mobile data-gathering protocol for UWSNs (Alfouzan et al. Sensors 2020).
