An Environment-Friendly Multipath Routing Protocol for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network

الملخص EN

Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) is a promising technique by facilitating a wide range of aquatic applications.

However, routing scheme in UASN is a challenging task because of the characteristics of the nodes mobility, interruption of link, and interference caused by other underwater acoustic systems such as marine mammals.

In order to achieve reliable data delivery in UASN, in this work, we present a disjoint multipath disruption-tolerant routing protocol for UASN (ENMR), which incorporates the Hue, Saturation, and Value color space (HSV) model to establish routing paths to greedily forward data packets to sink nodes.

ENMR applies the mechanism to maintain the network topology.

Simulation results show that, compared with the classic underwater routing protocols named PVBF, ENMR can improve packet delivery ratio and reduce network latency while avoiding introducing additional energy consumption.
