Research Interests
Li-Chung Kuo received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2012, working in the Wireless Networks and Embedded Systems Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Tommaso Melodia. His research focused on underwater acoustic sensor networks, particularly cross-layer routing on MIMO-OFDM underwater acoustic links and distributed medium access control strategies for MIMO underwater acoustic networking. He received his first M.S. degree in Communication Engineering from National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 2005, and his second M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University at Buffalo in 2008. He obtained his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan in 1999.

Book Chapters
Summary The objective of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive account of recent advances in underwater acoustic communications and networking. To do so, it briefly describes the typical communication architecture of an underwater network. The chapter discusses the key notions of underwater acoustic propagation and the state of the art in acoustic communication techniques at the physical layer. It presents the recent advances in protocol design at the medium access and network layers of the protocol stack. The chapter reviews the state of the art in medium access control protocols for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UW-ASNs), respectively. It describes the advances in cross-layer design techniques. Finally, it provides a detailed discussion of the existing underwater acoustic platforms for experimental evaluation of underwater networks. Controlled Vocabulary Terms Cross layer design; media access protocol; underwater acoustic communication; wireless sensor networks
