Abstract
Wireless sensor networks give its role in every one’s life. It helps in everyone’s life at straightforward manner. WSNs are mainly used at the places which are not easily reachable to gather the information of surrounding. As all know ¾ portion of world is enclosed by water. So, if we want to know the environmental conditions of underwater, then we need sensor networks used underwater. If we compare terrestrial networks, UWSNs have some restrictions of lesser bandwidth, high broadcast deferral, and stumpy transmission power. Also corresponding to terrestrial sensor networks, one critical problem with underwater sensor networks is discovering a well-organized path between a sender and a receiver. We have reviewed various routing protocols for underwater sensor networks, and we have classified these protocols into two major categories based on position information and without position information. Comparison of all these protocols has been given along with the main idea of research articles and their research gap. After that, some ideas are given on which further research can be done in the field of underwater sensor networks.
