Routing Based on Channel, Distance, Depth, and Energy for Underwater Wireless Networks (UWSN) - RBCDDE

In recent years, underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have been a hot topic of interest for not only researchers but also scientists. UWSN is a technology that uses sensors in the water environment to collect useful information in fields such as oceanographic data collection, earthquake prevention, tsunami warning, and resource exploration, pollution monitoring in the marine environment, etc. In this paper, we propose a solution to find the path for packets from the cluster head node at the bottom to the sink node located on the water surface using the method based on the shortest distance within the transmission range with constraints on energy, depth, distance, and channel transmitted from the Shink node named RBCDDE (Routing Based on Channel, Distance, Depth, and Energy for Underwater Wireless Networks). Simulation results show that the proposed method has low latency, high successful packet transmission rate, low energy consumption, and high network throughput.
