KRUSH-D Approach for the Solution to Node Mobility Issue in Underwater Sensor Network (UWSN)

The most frequently experienced challenge in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) is the mobility issue i.e. the nodes present underwater changes their position from one place to another, therefore affecting the entire communication in the network. In our previous work, we proposed a 2D-based solution namely “Arc moment” for the node mobility. This approach used the Euclidean 2D distance formula and various other assumptions to efficiently maintain the communication. In this paper, we have proposed a 3D based approach named KRUSH-D, which is a further enhancement to our previous 2D approach. The proposed approach that has now been put forward rectifies the mobility issue, and also maintains the communication in the network at the same time. It brings in use the Euclidean 3D distance calculation and the famous KRUSKAL algorithm for path selection. The main objective here is to provide a solution for maintaining reliable communication in UWSN. The proposed work is examined using example(s) in order to provide readers clarity.
