Abstract
Underwater wireless networks (UWNs) represent a diverse and intriguing research domain, encompassing a wide array of scientific and industrial applications. This dissertation delves into the communication challenges at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer within UWNs, stemming from the distinctive signal propagation conditions and the harshness of the deployment environment. The manuscript provides comprehensive coverage of key aspects of UWNs, including potential applications, communication protocols, methodologies employed in such networks, and existing software solutions that facilitate simulation, emulation, and real testbed scenarios for underwater research endeavors. Furthermore, this research introduces innovative software and communication solutions designed to facilitate the seamless integration of underwater robotic applications. These solutions enhance communication efficiency through the introduction of a novel token-based Medium Access Control scheme tailored to underwater wireless network nodes. The proposed solutions are examined through simulation and real testbed environments, resulting in the publication of multiple papers and demonstrations that underscore their practical viability and effectiveness.
