Equation (11) shows that the throughput of this protocol is not affected by the long-delay feature of underlying acoustic channels (since no propagation delay is involved in the throughput calculation).
When the EH time ratios are obtained by Golden Section Search approach in order to minimize the outage performance for the proposed protocol, the throughput of the FDEHSN protocol is enhanced and exceeds that of the WoEH one while the impacts of residual loopback interference are serious.
Furthermore, the sample throughput of the automated protocol is up to 9 times higher than the manual protocol.
Simulation results showed that throughput of the proposed protocol is better than those of existing CoopMAC and ZrcMAC protocols.
When SI factor ranges from −20 to −5 dB, the performance of TSAC scheme is superior to the existing protocols, but when SI parameters are greater than −5 dB, the optimal throughput of the proposed protocol in [28] is a prime candidate.
Throughput Throughput of the routing protocol means that in certain time, the total size of useful packets received at all the destination nodes.

The authors in [20] propose a cooperative MAC protocol that integrates [21] relay selection, packet piggyback and medium access for the application of cooperative communication techniques and analyze the saturation throughput of the proposed protocol with the simulation results to validate the numerical results.
Simulation results show that the maximum throughput of the proposed protocol is 39.6% and 9.6% higher than those of the cooperative MAC-aggregation (CoopMACA) and instantaneous relay-based cooperative MAC protocols, respectively, in a wireless local area network environment, and 40.8% and 31.9% higher, respectively, in an ad hoc network environment.
