Abstract and Figures

Due to the detrimental nature of aquatic environment, the design of routing protocols for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) faces numerous challenges, such as optimal route selection, energy efficiency, propagation delay, etc. Energy efficiency is considered to be one of the key parameters while designing any of the routing strategy. The uneven dissipation of energy causes void hole creation. Due to the hole creation, a node can not forwards its data towards the destination because of the unavailability of relay node(s). In order to avoid the creation of void hole, we pro- pose a routing mechanism which detects void hole prior to its occurrence and takes an alternative route for successful data delivery. We compute an optimal number of forwarders at each hop for reducing the probability of void hole occurrence. In addition, forwarding communication range is logically divided in to subareas in order to minimize the number of redundant transmissions. To optimize the network lifes- pan via reducing the energy consumption, linear based optimization is presented to compute the feasible region for energy tax. Also we perform simulations for showing that our claims are well grounded. The results depict that the proposed work has outperformed baseline schemes in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), energy tax and Accumulative Propagation Distance (APD).

Performance enhancement of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) in terms of throughput maximization, energy conservation and Bit Error Rate (BER) minimization is a potential research area. However, limited available bandwidth, high propagation delay, highly dynamic network topology, and high error probability leads to performance degradation in these networks. In this regard, many cooperative communication protocols have been developed that either investigate the physical layer or the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, however, the network layer is still unexplored. More specifically, cooperative routing has not yet been jointly considered with sink mobility. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance the network reliability and efficiency via dominating set based cooperative routing and sink mobility. The proposed work is validated via simulations which show relatively improved performance of our proposed work in terms the selected performance metrics.

We propose forwarding-function (íµí°¹ íµí°¹) based routing protocol for underwater sensor networks (UWSNs): improved adaptive mobility of courier nodes in threshold-optimized depth-based-routing (iAMCTD). Unlike existing depth-based acoustic protocols, the proposed protocol exploits network density for time-critical applications. In order to tackle flooding, path loss, and propagation latency, we calculate optimal holding time (íµí°» íµí±‡) and use routing metrics: localization-free signal-to-noise ratio (LSNR), signal quality index (SQI), energy cost function (ECF), and depth-dependent function (DDF). Our proposal provides on-demand routing by formulating hard threshold (íµí°» th), soft threshold (íµí±† th), and prime energy limit (íµí±… prime). Simulation results verify effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed iAMCTD.

The design of routing protocols for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) poses many challenges due to long propagation, high mobility, limited bandwidth, multi-path and Doppler effect. Because of the void-hole caused by the uneven distribution of nodes and sparse deployment, the selection of next hop forwarding nodes only based on the state of current node may result in the failure of forwarding in the local sparse region. In order to reduce the probability of encountering void holes in the sparse networks, in this paper we present weighting depth and forwarding area division DBR routing protocol, called WDFAD-DBR. The novelties of WDFAD-DBR lie in: firstly, next forwarding nodes are selected according to the weighting sum of depth difference of two hops, which considers not only the current depth but also the depth of expected next hop. In this way, the probability of meeting void holes is effectively reduced. Secondly, the mechanisms for forwarding area division and neighbor node prediction are designed to reduce the energy consumption caused by duplicated packets and neighbors' requests, respectively. Thirdly, we make theoretical analyses on routing performance in case of considering channel contending with respect to delivery ratio, energy consumption and average end-to-end delay. Finally we conduct extensive simulations using NS-3 simulator to verify the effectiveness and validity of WDFAD-DBR.

Recently, underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have emerged as a promising networking technique for various underwater applications. An energy efficient routing protocol plays a vital role in data transmission and practical applications. However, due to the specific characteristics of UWSNs, such as dynamic structure, narrow bandwidth, rapid energy consumption, and high latency, it is difficult to build routing protocols for UWSNs. In this article we focus on surveying existing routing protocols in UWSNs. First, we classify existing routing protocols into two categories based on a route decision maker. Then the performance of existing routing protocols is compared in detail. Furthermore, future research issues of routing protocols in UWSNs are carefully analyzed.

Opportunistic routing (OR) is a promising paradigm that selects the next-hop forwarder on the fly. OR has gained a lot of attention from the research community for its ability to increase the performance of wireless networks. In OR a potential group of nodes (candidates) is selected to help as the next-hop forwarder. Each candidate that receives the packet can continue forwarding the packet. In OR, by using a dynamic relay node to forward the packet, the transmission reliability and network throughput are increased. Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) collect data from the environment and transfer them to the sonobuoys on the surface to send them to a center for further processing. Because of the acoustic channels common to UWSNs, they have low bandwidth, high error probability, and longer propagation delay compared to radio channels. These properties of UWSNs make them good potential candidates for using OR concepts to deliver packets to the destination. This article reviews and compares different OR protocols proposed for UWSNs. We classify the existing approaches in different categories, discuss representative examples for each class of protocols, and uncover the requirements considered by the different protocols, as well as the design requirements and limitations under which they operate. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions for UWSNs using the OR paradigm.

Underwater acoustic sensor network (UASN) is a promising technique, which will facilitate a wide range of aquatic applications. However, because of adverse underwater environments, UASN faces grand challenges and problems such as limited bandwidth, node movement, long propagation delay, three-dimension deployment, energy-constraint, expensive manufacture and deployment costs. In order to address these problems and challenges, in this paper we propose an adaptive hop-by-hop vector-based forwarding routing protocol on the basis of HH-VBF (called AHH-VBF). Firstly, during the transmission process, the radius of virtual pipeline is adaptively changed hop by hop to restrict the forwarding range of packets so that the transmission reliability can be guaranteed effectively in the sparse sensor region and the duplicated packets can be reduced in the dense sensor region; secondly, the transmission power level is also adaptively adjusted hop by hop in cross-layer fashion so that the energy-efficiency can be improved effectively; thirdly, forwarding nodes are selected based on the distance from current node to destination node so that the end-to-end delays are reduced effectively. Eventually, we propose two metrics: propagation deviation factor and effective neighbor number, to evaluate the network performance of AHH-VBF. We conduct extensive simulations using ns-3 simulator and perform theoretical analyses to evaluate the network performance. Our experimental results verified that the AHH-VBF routing protocol outperforms HH-VBF protocol, naïve Flooding and RDBF in terms of energy efficiency, end-to-end delay and data delivery ratio.

Providing better communication in UWSNs and maximize the communication performance is challenging issue due to volatile characteristics of underwater environment. Radio signal cannot properly propagate in underwater, so there is need, such type of acoustic modem technology that can supports better data rates and reliable underwater wireless communications. Further, nodes mobility, 3-D spaces brings some critical challenges for the researcher to design new routing protocol for UWSNs, to handle the issues like high end to end delays, Propagation delay, as well as power constraints of the sensor nodes. Many routing algorithms have been proposed in last two decades and some of them provide better solution to handle such type of issues. In this paper, we proposed a novel routing protocol called Layer by layer Angle Based Flooding (L2-ABF.), to address the problem node swaying issue, end-to-end delays, and node energy consumption. In L2-ABF, every node can calculate its flooding angle to forward data packet to the next upper layer toward the surface sinks without using any explicit configuration and location information. The simulation results show that L2-ABF has some advantages over some existing flooding base techniques and can easily manage quick routing changes where node movements are frequent.

Based on LEACH algorithm, we propose an improved HMR-LEACH algorithm (Hierarchical Multi-path Routing-LEACH), which improves election of cluster head and adopts multi-hop algorithm instead of one hop to transmission data. When chooses transmission path, HMR-LEACH algorithm takes energy and distance into account and assigns a probability to each transmitting path by weight. Simulation result indicates that HMR-LEACH outperforms the LEACH algorithm and prolongs the life of the network dramatically.
