| Summary: | During the last couple of decades Underwater Wireless
Sensor etworks (UWS) attracting more and more attention
for ocean monitoring systems. Due to adverse environment,
UWS face many problems like bandwidth limitations, high
error probability, node movements and 3-dimensional space, and
with such challenges, we need a robust and scalable architecture
for providing a self configuring network of distributed nodes. In
order to handle the problem of large propagation delays and
unreliable link quality, many authors proposed multi-hop data
delivery routing schemes. But, such multi-hop routing protocols
drain more energy of the nodes near the sink. In this paper, we
proposed a “Temporary Cluster Based Routing” protocol, which
not only make use of equal energy consumption for all the nodes
throughout the network but also it helps to save energy, as it
prefer to send the sensed data over short distances. Moreover, it
does not require any location information of sensor nodes and
only a small number of nodes are involved during the end to end
routing process. This makes it suitable not only for stationary
and mobile networks but for the hybrid networks as well. |
