Abstract
Design of energy efficient underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) routing protocol to prolong network lifetime is a challenging task because of limited battery life of sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose mobile energy efficient square routing protocol (MEES) to balance energy consumption of nodes in the network. Two mobile sinks are deployed at the farthest distance from each other. In order to cover the maximum network field, both mobile sinks move linearly on the predefine path in clockwise direction. Sensor nodes transmit data directly to the mobile sink whenever it comes in its transmission range. Simulation results validate that our propose scheme outperforms the compared schemes (SEEC, BEEC) in terms of network lifetime, throughput, and energy consumption.
