One of the major challenges for the deployment of underwater acoustic sensor networks is the development of a medium access control (MAC) protocol catering for the harsh underwater environment. In particular, an underwater MAC protocol should prov...
Out-of-order packet problem incurs severe degradation of throughput performance of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) with heterogeneous communication links. In this paper, we propose an extended version of MPTCP to solve the out-of-order packet problem. The p...
