Sommario/riassunto

A detailed review of underwater channel characteristics, Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks investigates the fundamental aspects of



underwater communication. Prominent researchers from around the world consider contemporary challenges in the development of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UW-ASNs) and introduce a cross-layer approach for effective integration of all communication functionalities. Discussing architectures for two- and three-dimensional sensor networks, this authoritative resource clearly delineates the main differences between terrestrial
