“…There is also a group of pressure-based and soft-state routing protocols like VAPR [5], IVAR [36], OVAR [20,37], and LLSR [38], which can keep the packets away from the void and trapped nodes during the packet forwarding by using the reachability information such as hop count distance and forwarding direction. However, they are not as scalable as a stateless approach.…”

“…The routing efficiency is certainly increased if the trapped nodes are also exempted from the packet forwarding. Although there are some soft-state approaches like VAPR [5], IVAR [36], and OVAR [20] which can bypass the trapped nodes by using the reachability information from the sink nodes, they are not scalable as a stateless approach. Our proposed routing protocol is, to the best of our knowledge, the first stateless routing protocol which is also able to bypass the trapped nodes.…”

Routing packets in Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) face different challenges, the most notable of which is perhaps how to deal with void communication areas. While this issue is not addressed in some underwater routing protocols, there exist some partially state-full protocols which can guarantee the delivery of packets using excessive communication overhead. However, there is no fully stateless underwater routing protocol, to the best of our knowledge, which can detect and bypass trapped nodes. A trapped node is a node which only leads packets to arrive finally at a void node. In this paper, we propose a Stateless Opportunistic Routing Protocol (SORP), in which the void and trapped nodes are locally detected in the different area of network topology to be excluded during the routing phase using a passive participation approach. SORP also uses a novel scheme to employ an adaptive forwarding area which can be resized and replaced according to the local density and placement of the candidate forwarding nodes to enhance the energy efficiency and reliability. We also make a theoretical analysis on the routing performance in case of considering the shadow zone and variable propagation delays. The results of our extensive simulation study indicate that SORP outperforms other protocols regarding the routing performance metrics.

The development of routing protocols for underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) faces with different challenges, the most notable of which is perhaps how to deal with a void communication area. Over the past few years, some underwater protocols equipped with the void-handling techniques have been proposed to address this issue. The majority of them; however, are unable to detect and bypass the trapped nodes which can also lead a packet to become stuck in a void node. In this paper, we propose a new stateless routing protocol, called Energy-efficient and Void Avoidance Depth Based Routing (EVA-DBR) protocol which uses different control packets to detect the void and trapped nodes locally in the different area of network topology and then to exclude them from the routing paths using a passive participation approach. To the best of our knowledge, EVA-DBR is the first fully stateless routing protocol which can locally detect and bypass the trapped nodes in addition to the void nodes in UWSNs. The updating phase for sending the control packets is performed with the least possible cost, by eliminating the need for ACK packets. As an opportunistic routing protocol, EVA-DBR employs an adaptive forwarding area which can be resized and replaced according to the density and placement of the forwarding candidate nodes to enhance the energy efficiency and reliability. The results of our extensive simulation study indicate that EVA-DBR outperforms other protocols regarding the routing performance metrics.

“…Another pressure beacon based routing protocol, named an Inherently Void Avoidance Routing (IVAR) Protocol for UWSNs, has been proposed to handle the communication void problem [11]. This protocol does not require full location information as it uses local depth information and number of hops to the sink.…”

“…• Route cost calculation: as discussed previously, an efficient cost calculation has a direct impact on selecting the best node among neighbors [11,15]. Therefore, convenient route cost should be carefully designed using suitable metrics such as depth, link quality, and residual energy, which in turn improve the network lifetime and reduce network overhead.…”

Abstract:The underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is considered a promising technology for collecting valuable data from underwater areas, particularly for aiding military operations and environmental predictions. UWSNs consist of underwater sensor nodes that have limited energy and use acoustics for communication. Routing in underwater sensor nodes is one of the challenging issues in UWSNs because of the need to forward data packets with minimal energy consumption and a high packet delivery ratio. Selecting the next forwarding nodes is one of the key components of routing in UWSNs and has a direct effect on energy consumption and the packet delivery ratio. Therefore, this problem has gained much attention from the research community with the intent of enhancing the performance of UWSNs. This paper qualitatively reviews routing protocols for UWSNs, focusing on the next-hop selection method and its strengths and weaknesses. A taxonomy is presented for reviewing routing protocols under different categories of the classification. A summary of the qualitative investigation is presented highlighting aims, the next-hop selection method, metrics, and priority considerations. A comprehensive investigation is carried out focusing on energy, link quality, void awareness, reliability, and shortest path characteristics. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions in UWSNs for forwarding node selection.
