The invention relates to a data collection
task oriented underwater sound
network media access control method. An existing method is inapplicable to a data collection type
underwater sound sensor network. The method provided by the invention comprises the steps that a data collection type
underwater sound sensor
network model is established; when an underwater sound
sensor node has a sending demand, the underwater sound
sensor node makes a channel appointment to a sink node, and the sink node actively invites other underwater sound sensor nodes to join this round of transmission and carries out
transmission scheduling on response packets; after the underwater sound sensor nodes receive invite packets, if the underwater sound sensor nodes have the sending demands, the underwater sound sensor nodes send the response packets according to a scheduling table; the sink node carries out data
packet scheduling and broadcasts sequence packets; after the underwater sound sensor nodes receive the sequence packets, the underwater sound sensor nodes sends the data packets to the sink node according to the scheduling table; and the sink node receives the data packets completely and then broadcasts
acknowledgement packets. The method provided by the invention is applicable to the data collection type underwater sound sensor network, the network
throughput and a channel appointment success rate are improved, and the method is also applicable to the data collection type underwater sound sensor network with mobile nodes.
