摘要

随着无人水下潜航器（unmanned underwater vehicle，UUV）在水下作业、目标探测等领域的广泛应用，支持水下UUV集群的水声通信网络组网技术正成为水下信息获取领域的研究热点。媒体接入控制（media access control，MAC）协议作为协调节点间数据传输、优化网络性能的核心技术，对提升水声通信网络效能具有重要作用。系统梳理了国内外支持UUV集群的水声网络MAC协议的研究进展，涵盖从经典协议架构到近年来集群化适配方案的最新成果。基于信道接入机制与应用场景两大维度对现有MAC协议展开深入分析，总结各类方法的技术特点与适用条件，并在此基础上对未来面向UUV集群的水声网络MAC协议发展趋势进行展望，旨在为UUV集群水声网络MAC协议的创新设计与工程应用提供参考与借鉴。

Abstract

With the expanding application of unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) in underwater operations and target detection

underwater acoustic communication networking technologies designed to support UUV clusters have been widely investigated as a key field in underwater information acquisition. MAC protocols

which serve as core technologies for coordinating data transmission among nodes and optimizing network performance

play an important role in improving the efficiency of underwater acoustic communication network. A systematic review of the research progress on MAC protocols for acoustic networks supporting UUV clusters was conducted

covering developments from classical protocol architectures to recent cluster-oriented adaptation schemes. Existing MAC protocols were analyzed in depth based on two dimensions: channel access mechanisms and application scenarios. The technical characteristics and applicable conditions of various methods were summarized

and future development trends of UUV cluster-oriented underwater acoustic network MAC protocols were prospected. This review aims to provide references and insights for the innovative design and engineering application of UUV cluster underwater acoustic network MAC protocols.
