Receiver-Initiated Spectrum Management for Underwater Cognitive Acoustic Network

Cognitive acoustic (CA) is emerging as a promising technique for environment-friendly and spectrum-efficient underwater communications. Due to the unique features of underwater acoustic networks (UANs), traditional spectrum management systems designed for cognitive radio (CR) need an overhaul to work efficiently in underwater environments. In this paper, we propose a receiver-initiated spectrum management (RISM) system for underwater cognitive...
