USPF: Underwater Shrewd Packet Flooding Mechanism through Surrogate Holding Time

الملخص EN

The selection of optimal relay node ever remains a stern challenge for underwater routing.

Due to a rigid and uncouth underwater environment, the acoustic channel faces inevitable masses that tarnish the transmission cycle.

None of the protocols can cover all routing issues; therefore, designing underwater routing protocol demands a cognitive coverage that cannot be accomplished without meticulous research.

An angle-based shrewd technique is being adopted to improve the data packet delivery, as well as revitalize the network lifespan.

From source to destination, one complete cycle comprises three phases indeed; in the first phase, the eligibility of data packet belonging to the same transmission zone is litigated by Forwarder Hop Angle (FHA) and Counterpart Hop Angle (CHA).

If FHA value is equal or greater than CHA, it presages that the generated packet belongs to the same transmission zone; otherwise, it portends that packet is maverick from other sectors.

The second phase picks out the best relay node by computing a three-state link quality with prefix values using the Additive-Rise and Additive-Fall method.

Finally, the third phase renders a decisive solution regarding exorbitant overhead fistula; a packet holding time is contemplated to prevent the packet loss probability.

Simulation results using NS2 have been analyzed, regarding packet delivery ratio, packet error rate, communication overhead, and end-to-end delay.

Comparing to HHVBF and GEDAR, USPF indeed has outperformed, leading into the evidence of applicability’s favor.
