... The IoT network suffers from higher security threats due to the nature of the heterogeneous IoT network [98]. Therefore, deploying security solutions is challenging when compared to the traditional network. ...

... Additionally, static node positions make it easier to administer networks (both intraand inter-cluster). If the nodes move, the cluster and CH will alter over time, necessitating ongoing management [25]. ...

... The wireless sensor network (WSN) is an accessible technology and has been a popular option for remote monitoring application such as in agriculture, industrial shopfloor, oil and gas industry [1,2]. The adoption and deployment of WSN for remote monitoring is performance driven in the oil and gas industry particularly on pipelines. ...

... Despite being underground and designed to prevent exposure to the public and the environment, sewer systems are prone to failure, and wastewater may overflow onto streets and other infrastructure, polluting waterways such as rivers, lakes, and seas. Sewage overflow can occur due to various factors, including deterioration of sewage materials, lack of power or pump failures, pipe corrosion, and blockage of pipes [5][6][7][8]. In addition, unexpected high flows from another source directly into the pipe, excessive use of pipes to accommodate new developments or infiltration through the soil into the pipe during a severe storm are also potential causes of sewer overflow [9]. ...

... Researchers have produced numerous beacon based, localization free routing protocols for USNs over the past few years as discussed by Tariq et.al [20]. However, most of well-known schemes among them face certain issues and hence need some enhancement in their working to achieve optimal performance. ...

... Firstly, since underwater acoustic channels are the only feasible option, they pose several challenges in communication, including signal absorption, large delays, frequency selectivity caused by multipath effects, and signal scattering caused by reflections causing temporal signals. (Abbas et al., 2017, Tariq et al., 2021, Mohsan et al., 2022. The network faces an additional serious problem of limited energy availability, as it is nearly impossible to replace or recharge their batteries. ...

... Tariq et al. [32] used a routing protocol that considered the residual energy and deployment depth of underwater nodes. Based on various fuzzy logic metrics, this protocol outperformed similar protocols regarding end-to-end latency and energy consumption. ...

... This selection is based on the node's higher residual energy or lower path loss, which reduces sensor node energy consumption, increases data transmission performance, and extends network lifetime. GFGD and GGFGD have some demerits as they supposed that the channel link is symmetric, and this does not apply to the underwater acoustic channel since it is known to be asymmetric [91]. Both protocols also assume that the sensor nodes are static deployment, which is not applicable in UWSN because of the passive node movements caused by water currents. ...

... In Wang et al., 46 Basagni et al., 47 and Tran-Dang and Kim, 48 depth-based methods for routing are introduced. In Wang et al., 46 routing decisions are made based on the depth and layer number of the nodes, and in Khan et al. 49 and Khasawneh et al. 50 based on depth, residual energy, and link quality. ...
