Abstract
This paper presents a state of art of existing underwater acoustic networks. We study specifically the media access control (MAC) protocol design of research work done in this field. A comparison of different protocols is presented according to several criteria: propagation delay, node connectivity and energy consumption. This comparison allows us to present some ideas for a new design of a MAC underwater acoustic protocol.
