...For example, the Seaweb deployment in 2000 involved 17 nodes spread over a 16 km2 area with a median of 5 neighbors per node (Proakis et al., 2001)....

...For example, due to acoustic modem limitations, FDMA was chosen for the early deployment of SeaWeb (Proakis et al., 2001), even though the use of guard bands for channel separation leads to some inefficiency and this type of frequency channel allocation has very little flexibility (e.g., to accommodate varying transmission rates)....

...They have been extensively used in SeaWeb (Proakis et al., 2001), with vendor-supported modifications, but their firmware is not accessible to general users, limiting their use for new PHY and MAC research....

...MACA-based protocols are found to be highly suited in many scenarios underwater where scalability is important and time-synchronization is not available (Kebkal et al., 2005; Heidemann et al., 2006; Molins and Stojanovic, 2006; Xie and Cui, 2006)....

...Thus it is often proposed that media access control (MAC) protocols for underwater networks be developed ground up and not directly adopt existing terrestrial protocols (Jiejun et al., 2005; Heidemann et al., 2006)....
