Cover Story: Underwater acoustic communications face many challenges due to a hostile environment. This paper presents a study of an underwater environmental data collection service, performed by an autonomous vehicle equipped with both a commercial modem and a very low-cost acoustic modem prototype. The vehicle mules the data from a dense network of low-cost submerged acoustic sensors, deployed in a river scenario, to a surface sink. To this purpose, a polling-based MAC protocol has been employed and adaptive mechanisms have been implemented to adapt the protocol parameters to the network density. View this paper
