Analyze characteristics and classification of the MAC protocol of the underwater acoustic sensor networks. It uses Aqua-Sim
an underwater acoustic network simulation software based on NS2
to simulate transmission process of Broadcast MAC protocol and R-MAC protocol in centralized topology of underwater acoustic sensor network that owns five nodes
and then analyze and compare similarities and differences of two protocols in average packet delay
average energy consumption and average throughput. It is concluded that in centralized topology of underwater acoustic sensor subnet
Broadcast MAC protocol is more suitable for the applications which require high throughput environment
and R-MAC protocol is better to fit for the application which is strict with energy consumption.
