The propagation speed of an acoustic signal is much slower than the speed of a terrestrial radio signal due to the physical characteristics of an underwater acoustic channel. This large delay can impact the throughput of the channel. There is a very high delay variance which presents unique challenges to the designs of efficient protocols. The inconsistent delay renders many traditional communication...
