An Asynchronous Triggered MAC Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Networks
Bingwen Huangfu, Jiani Guo, Shanshan Song +3
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have proven their practicality through extensive field trials in Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs…
Is DRL-based MAC Ready for Underwater Acoustic Networks? Exploring Its Practicality in Real Field Experiments
Jiani Guo, Bingwen Huangfu, Shanshan Song +3
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols rely on neighbor and environment information to design collision-free access rules for Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs). Acquiring this inf…
Aqua-Sim Fourth Generation: Towards General and Intelligent Simulation for Underwater Acoustic Networks
Jiani Guo, Shanshan Song, Hao Chen +3
Simulators are essential to troubleshoot and optimize Underwater Acoustic Network (UAN) schemes (network protocols and communication technologies) before real field experiments. Ho…
A Digital Twin-based Intelligent Network Architecture for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
Shanshan Song, Bingwen Huangfu, Jiani Guo +4
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) drive toward strong environmental adaptability, intelligence, and multifunctionality. However, due to unique UASN characteristics, such…
