Energy Efficient Routing Protocols for UWSN: A Review
Abstract: The Underwater
Sensor Network (UWSN) is main interesting area due to its most valuable applications
like: disaster preventions, distributed tactical surveillance, undersea
exploration, seismic monitoring, environmental monitoring and many more. The
design of energy efficient routing protocol however is a challenging issue
because in underwater environment the batteries of the sensor nodes cannot be
recharged easily. Majority of the researchers have adapted the terrestrial WSN
methodologies to overcome this problem but in underwater environment the
terrestrial WSN approach is not feasible due to the acoustic signaling and
water current. This research paper focuses the key limitation of the current energy
efficient routing protocols. The simulation results with comparative analysis
for energy efficient routing protocols are also presented in this research
article; which helps the researchers to find the further research gap in the
field of energy efficient routing protocols.
