Abstract :
In this paper, upper and lower bound on the transmission capacity of underwater sensor networks are derived. Transmission capacity is defined as the maximum permissible density of simultaneous transmissions that allows a certain probability of successful reception. In order to drive these bounds it is assumed for the network model that the distance between source and destination is a fixed value. The ratio of signal to interference (SIR) for underwater acoustic channels is used as a figure of merit for the system performance. This ratio is determined and employed as a criterion for successful reception. Simulation results support the analysis.
