“…Based on the DBR, Mohammadi et al in [10] proposed the Fuzzy DBR (FDBR) which selects forwarding nodes based on the number of hops, depth, and energy information, improving the energy efficiency and reducing the end-to-end delay. There are also many similar routing protocols, such as the VARP [11], GEDAR [12], iIA-EEDBR [13], EECOR [14], EEIRA [15], and so on. Similarly, the underwater acoustic routing design based on cooperative communication, such as CoDBR [42], Co-UWSN [43], SPARCO [44], RBCMIC [45], S-DCC [4], etc., also mostly considers end-to-end delay, network lifetime, and energy consumption.…”
