A Time-Slotted Data Gathering Medium Access Control Protocol Using Q-Learning for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Contention-basedmedium access control (MAC) protocols for underwater acoustic sensor networks are designed to handle packet collisions that are caused by long propagation delays. However, existing protocols are known to suffer from relatively high collisions, which decrease system performance. To en...
