In this paper, an adaptive MAC technique for various underwater environment with narrow-bandwidth and low transmission speed was proposed. In previously published Underwater Packet Flow Control (UPFC) technique, three transmission types (normal, block and parallel transmission) had been proposed using the number of transmission and transmission time. In addition to the UPFC, the proposed technique is an improved version of UPFC having more effective queuing technique for merge transmission. A mathematical model of the proposed queuing theory was constructed and its increased efficiency per unit transmission number was also verified based on simulations.
