ENERGY EFFICIENT ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Abstract

The charasteristic features of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks, such as high propagation delays and error rates, low bandwidth and limited energy sources make the protocol design issue challenging for those environments. Besides all those difficulties, it is very expensive to change or recharge the drained energy sources of the sensor nodes. Thus it is very imortant to consider energy efficiency while developing protocols for those environments. In this study, with the aim of reducing the total energy consumption and extending the lifetime of the network by balancing the energy consumption of the nodes, a protocol named Energy Efficient Routing Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks is proposed. Experiments with NS-2, Miracle and underwatermiracle extensions show that Energy Efficient Routing Protocol is successful in terms of the total energy consumption, success rate and end-to-end delay.
