    Abstract: This paper investigates the use of underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) for large scale monitoring of the ocean environment. The slow propagation of acoustic waves is a fundamental challenge in implementing reliable networking protocols due to the limited amount of control signalling that is achievable due to the long propagation delays in UASNs. Sequential Dual-Hop Transmit Delay Allocation MAC (SDH-TDA-MAC) is a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol that mitigates these physical constraints by incorporating long propagation delays into the transmission schedules to provide high network throughput in dual-hop UASNs. In this paper, we take a cross-layer approach to designing a routing protocol tailored to SDH-TDA-MAC. We present and evaluate the minimum delay and fewest relays routing strategies with optional routing redundancy, to offer a trade-off between achieving high network throughput and reliable packet delivery.
