Harness Interference for Performance Improvement in Underwater Sensor Networks

In this paper, we propose a new communication scheme, called the mirror node assisted communication (MNAC), to improve the channel efficiency in underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). In the new scheme, a mirror node is selected properly for each specified source node so that the signals from the source and the mirror nodes could add destructively at a protected receiver. This new communication scheme could prevent potential intrusions to the...
