  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, an underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is modeled with the help of queueing theory in order to evaluate the maximum stable throughput of the network. To this end, a new scenario for multi-layer mobile UWSN is considered. Then, a new MAC algorithm comprised of random access scheme (like MACAW) and CDMA-based data transmission along with a simplified routing algorithm is proposed. In order to analyze the considered UWSN scenario, we propose two related queueing networks, one for modeling the wireless node mobility and the other for representing the process of multi-hop packet transmission according to considered MAC and routing algorithms. Finally, the maximum stable throughput of the network is derived by solving the related traffic equations and applying the stability condition. In order to verify the proposed analytical approach, we simulate the UWSN scenario and compare analytical and simulation results
