Due to the low data-rate, high propagation delay, floating node mobility, and high error probability, underwater multimedia communication is still challenging. In this paper, we propose an acoustic-based reliable streaming network for resource-constrained underwater communication. The proposed protocol uses a Null Data Packet (NDP)-based contention and acknowledgment mechanism to reduce control overhead and improve reliability and energy efficiency. With the use of a lightweight Traffic Indication Map (TIM) and video compression technique, our system's efficiency for multimedia transmission is further improved. The proposed schemes provide multimedia communication without compromising on the quality of the data transmitted. We experimentally demonstrate the proposed scheme in a hydrodynamic water-tank facility on our campus. The testbed we have built in this facility is capable of running real-time video streaming. The system's performance, which is evaluated using parameters such as coverage, range, latency, and energy consumption, was found to prove the proposed solution's validity.
