This paper presents the new protocol for the organization of dynamic addressing nodes in the underwater
wireless networks. In view of the extremely limited frequency band and significant delays inherent in the
underwater acoustic data transmission channel, as well as the nonlinearity of the propagation paths of the
acoustic signal in water, an approach is proposed for constructing a dynamic addressing protocol based on
avoiding collisions at the receiving point. The protocol takes into account the peculiarities of the physical
layer of the data transmission and is designed for servicing the network of autonomous non-synchronized
nodes.
