Clustered geographic-opportunistic routing protocol for underwater wireless sensor networks

Abstract

<jats:p>The most adverse characteristics of underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) communications are high propagation delay, high error rate, very low bandwidth, and limited available energy. The energy resources replacement is also more expensive. The proposed clustering-based geographic- opportunistic routing with adjustment of depth-based topology control for communication recovery of void regions (C- GEDAR). The cluster-based GEDAR routes the packet to the surface of sonobuoys with the help of clusters. The void sensor node recovery algorithm is used to recover the void nodes to calculate their new depth. The proposed routing protocol is to be simulated and its performances are evaluated by using an Aquasim simulator. The simulated result shows that C-GEDAR performs better average energy consumption, good packet delivery ratio (PDR) and less end-to-end delay.</jats:p>

A Novel Hybridized Cluster-Based Geographical Opportunistic Routing Protocol for Effective Data Routing in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

“…Baranidharan et al [15] proposed a geo-opportunistic routing protocol based on the clustering technique to recover a void region under topology control. Tis clusterbased OR protocol routes the packet with the help of clustering.…”

Energy-efficient virtual infrastructure based geo-nested routing protocol for wireless sensor networks

“…The limitation of this proposed model is that this algorithm is fully based on the non-linear correlation between the parameters, so it is not suitable for real-world targets. Valerio Di Valerio, et al, have proposed a new data forwarding scheme based on the various relay selection routing algorithms for WSN in Underwater scenarios [10] - [13] . This routing algorithm is always swiftly adapting to the overwhelming dynamic change of the underwater environments.…”
