Abstract
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are promising and emerging framework having a wide range of applications. The underwater sensor deployment is beneficial; however, some factors limit the performance of the network, i.e., less reliability, high end-to-end delay and maximum energy dissipation. The provisioning of aforementioned factors have become challenging task for the research community. In UWSNs, battery consumption is inevitable and has a direct impact on the performance of the network. Most of the time energy dissipates due to the creation of void holes and imbalanced network deployment. In this work, a routing protocol is proposed to avoid the void holes problem and extra energy dissipation, due to which lifespan of the network increases. To show the efficacy of our proposed routing scheme, it is compared with state of the art protocols. Simulations result show that the proposed scheme outperforms the counterparts.
