These networks are mostly formed by acoustic sensor nodes and surface sinks called buoys that are connected to any onshore control centre. The reliable delivery of sensed data to the surface sink is a challenging task as compared to forwarding the collected data to the control centre. Acoustic channel characteristics create many problems like, low available bandwidth; large propagation delays and high error probability that restrict the efficiency of UWSNs. Beside these, availability of limited resources and continuous node movements are major threats for the reliable data deliveries. With these constraints, it is a difficult task to design a protocol which has the ability to maximize the reliability of these networks. In this paper we provide a reliability model in order to insure the reliable data deliveries to the surface sinks. For this, we proposed two hop acknowledgment (2H-ACK) reliability model, where two copies of the same data packet are maintained in the network without extra burden on the available resources. Simulation results show that 2H-ACK can achieve better delivery ratios as compare to traditional hop-by-hop acknowledgment reliability without additional resource consumption. © 2010 IEEE. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79952095546&doi=10.1109%2fBWCCA.2010.97&partnerID=40&md5=f5b3467535f2294de2b63240acb4f016 id_number: 10.1109/BWCCA.2010.97 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings - 2010 International Conference on Broadband, Wireless Computing Communication and Applications, BWCCA 2010 place_of_pub: Fukuoka pagerange: 363-368 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780769542362 citation: Ayaz, M. and Abdullah, A. and Faye, I.
