Abstract
Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UW-ASN) is a remote system comprising of spatially disseminated independent gadgets utilizing sensors to screen physical or natural conditions underwater. Regular MAC protocol is not adequate in underwater acoustic sensor systems (UW-ASN) due to high error rate and long propagation delay for the general attributes of the physical media. In this research work, a Bidirectional Multi-Flow MAC protocol (BMF-MAC) for UW-ASN is proposed in order to manage multi-hop and multi-stream data flows so different flows of data transmission continue at the same time while modifying by fluctuating traffic state. The proposed protocol provisions structure of multi-hop streams, contrary to other underwater MAC protocols, by considering each pending packets in directing layer support. All stream setup request from neighbors while setting up a stream. So as to complete the execution investigation of the proposed BMF-MAC protocol, an experimental model is designed, which incorporates the condition of energy utilization, throughput, end to end delay and frame error likelihood. Comparative performance analysis has been done between the proposed protocol and the contemporary Cascading Multi-jump Reservation and Transmission protocol and performance is analyzed in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, and energy utilization.
