ROUTING ALGORITHMS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
INTRODUCTION: The world contains 70% water. A very fine part of it is understood by us. Researchers are working hard to discover and contribute more and more for the wellness of the society. Underwater Networks are the major part of this. In Real, UWSNs are a network of sensor nodes extended over a very large area. A sensor node is a battery operated device used to collect and send data through sensors and can communicate with different sensor nodes according to different types of communication as acoustic mode, electromagnetic mode and free space optic mode. The area we focused on is on electromagnetic mode of communication. The benefit of electromagnetic mode of communication is the energy of this wave is maximum in compare to the acoustic mode and free space optic mode of communication. In UWSNs whenever a sensor node collects any data it forwards it to another node, this loop continues until the data reaches a node placed at surface known as sink node. The sink node finally trans...
