	abstract = {Advances in the different fields of application on Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) makes this environment more attractive for researchers and industry. Communication in this environment faces exceptional challenges, since its data transmission is experiencing a limitation in the use of bandwidth, the presence of surrounding noise and also the long delays of acoustic propagation. It is of great benefit to design an adaptive transmission control protocol (TCP) for the underwater environment. In this work, we propose U-New Reno a transmission control protocol suitable for the marine environment wherein we consider both the adaptation of the maximum size of the congestion window and the expiry of the round-trip time (RTT). U-New Reno can achieve a very significant improvement concerning the retransmission rate of the packets and the evolution of the number of packets delivered. The performances of both metrics are closely observed during the comparison of simulation results between the standard New Reno and our proposed U-New Reno. {\textcopyright} 2021 King Saud University},

	abstract = {Data transmission in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) is one of the key enablers used in technologies for future oceanmonitoring systems and other underwater applications. The use of acoustic waves in UWSNs suffer from a high propagation delay, as well as a limited available bandwidth due to the high-noise level, making the use of the different traditional existing protocols a major challenge in this environment. In this paper, we have chosen two TCP mechanisms already defined: TCP Vegas and TCP New Reno, to evaluate the effects of variable TCP packet size and TCP connection density in a subsea network under two common routing protocols, namely AODV and DSDV. The simulation results show that the performances of the two TCPs using DSDV routing protocol provide a more efficient result than those using the AODV routing protocol and that New Reno TCP gives better results than Vegas TCP in the UWSNs. {\textcopyright} 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.},
