A SURVIVAL STUDY ON FLOODING BASED ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS (UWSNs)
Authors
Abstract
Recent exploration in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) has earned the
radical consideration of researchers in both academic and industries for distinct
number of undiscovered applications encompass of disaster and earthquake
forecasting, quality of water and environment monitoring, emission and mine
detection, military surveillance weather predication and underwater navigation. On the
other side, the underwater medium is identical with a number of limitations and
constraints such as limited bandwidth, long propagation delay, high interference and
noise, harsh environment, insufficient underwater channels and limited battery power
of the sensor nodes. To overcome this, the development of routing protocols for
UWSNs is one of the assuring solutions to control with the above mentioned
challenges. In addition, this paper presents a survey of the Flooding based routing
protocols for UWSNs which are reliable methodology to deliver packets in
underwater environment for long distance communication. Hence, these protocols
potentially associate the sensor nodes done with forwarding procedure. Finally, wide
range of parameters and future research directions are highlighted for further
investigation.
