A parametric performance evaluation of SMDBRP and AEDGRP routing protocols in underwater wireless sensor network for data transmission

Abstract

More than seventy percent of the earth is sheltered by the water. Water region is not explored and not known what the condition of the earth in water. Underwater Research was limited due to the wired connection in last. Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are a powerful discipline to explore and monitor the area of aquatic, rivers and submarine at-large place. UWSNs with hundreds of sensors information received from different locations and transmit the collected data to a particular user or hub, depending on the application and its requirements. There are different routing protocols that directly deploy the underwater environment which is used for data transmission between nodes. These routing protocols are: sink mobility depth based routing protocol (SMDBRP), aided efficient data gathering routing protocol (AEDGRP). For deep and shallow water, the node density plays a vital role in data transmission. Performance evaluation of routing protocols which are based on node density is depended upon these parameters: data delivery ratio, an end to end delay and data packet losses in communication. Network simulator NS-2 is used for this purpose. Our simulation results show that which routing protocol is best for data transmission in the respect of throughputs, data packet loss, and propagation delay. The result shows that the SMDBRP is preeminent work in the different situations.
