An optimal cluster‐based routing algorithm for UCBSNs

Abstract

Underwater Collaborative Body Sensor Network (UCBSN) is an important application of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). It allows monitoring the performance and status of group of persons in underwater environments to take appropriate actions. In this article, an optimal cluster‐based routing scheme that was previously validated for BSNs and terrestrial CBSN is adapted to the underwater environment and proposed to address UCBSNs challenges. The main aim of the proposed scheme is to ensure reliable transmission of data, while reducing the network delay and the energy consumption of nodes, through optimizing the three steps of the routing process. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared to other existing algorithms in terms of delay, BER, energy consumption, and percentage of dropped packets.

An energy minimization strategy based on transmission time and re‐clustering (TTRC) for wireless sensor network

“…Wireless sensor network (WSNs) are made up of many tiny devices known as sensor nodes, which consist of transducers, radio, processing units, and memory, with batteries as a power source. 1 WSN technology was originally designed for military applications but nowadays it is used commonly in health care, wildlife, industrial, home automation and civil applications and so forth. 2 A widely used approach for energy minimization is clustering wherein a network is divided into comparatively small sized networks called clusters.…”
