Abstract
Wireless sensor networks are used in each and every area of our daily life. It helps us in our life in a straightforward and cost-effective manner. WSNs are usually deployed at unreachable places to collect information about surroundings. As we know three-fourths of the earth is covered with water. So, for information underwater, we need underwater sensor networks. Compared to earthy networks underwater, sensor networks have several limitations of low bandwidth, high propagation delay, and low transmission power. Somewhat similar to earthy sensor nodes, a crucial problem with UWSNs is finding an efficient route between a source and a destination. We reviewed several routing algorithms based on location and locationless algorithms and protocols and we came to know of the several challenges existing in designing energy efficient routing protocols. Considering the several challenges overall, we tried to find a reliable and energy efficient routing protocol for under water sensor networks. Through simulation study using NS-2 simulator, we showed a significant improvement in terms of data delivery ratio, node dead ratio, and energy consumption.
