Abstract: Underwater sensor nodes will always have applications in underwater data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, assisted navigation and tactical surveillance applications. Underwater networks consist of a variable number of sensors and vehicles that are deployed to perform collaborative monitoring tasks over a given area. In this paper, several fundamental protocols used for underwater communication are compared and a new protocol better than the older ones is proposed. Different architectures for two-dimensional and three-dimensional underwater sensor networks are discussed, and characteristics of proposed protocol are discussed. The main challenges for the development of efficient networking solutions posed by the underwater environment are detailed and a cross-layer approach to the integration of all communication functionalities is suggested. Furthermore, open research issues are discussed and possible solution approaches are outlined.
