In underwater acoustic sensor networks, sensors are usually deployed for sensing task, and the sensed data is able to be transmitted in a direct or multi-hop relaying manner to the sink in a single-hop topology. Considering the energy consumption model, the signal transmitted in a longer range will cost much energy than that in a shorter range. Therefore, three transmission types, sink-to-nodes, node-to-node,...
