Owing to the hasty growth of communication technologies in the Underwater Internet of
Things (UIoT), many researchers and industries focus on enhancing the existing …

The routing in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) has become a challenging
issue due to several problems. First, in UASN, the distance between the nodes changes due …

This article proposes a novel deep-reinforcement learning-based medium access control
(DL-MAC) protocol for underwater acoustic networks (UANs) where one agent node …

In this paper, we discuss the state of the art of (mobile) multi-hop ad hoc networking with the
aim to present the current status of the research activities and identify the consolidated …

In this paper, we conduct a survey of the literature about reinforcement learning (RL)-based
medium access control (MAC) protocols. As the scale of the wireless ad hoc network …

The underwater internet of things (UIoT) has emerged as a booming technology in today's
digital world due to the enhancement of a wide range of underwater applications concerning …

The demand for regular monitoring of the marine environment and ocean exploration is
rapidly increasing, yet the limited bandwidth and slow propagation speed of acoustic signals …
