A Survey: Sensor Node Loalization in Underwater Sensor Network Using Vector Based Forwarding

Underwater sensor networks (UWSN) resemble terrestrial sensor networks in many aspects. However, the high propagation delay and limited bandwidth make terrestrial sensor network's protocols unsuitable for UWSN. Underwater sensor nodes are powered by batteries which are even difficult to recharge. So, energy efficiency is major concern for underwater routing. In this paper, based on VBF, we provide a new routing protocol, efficient VBF. In this paper we discuss the some fundamental about underwater sensor network, issue relating to routing, related work, our proposed protocol and result analysis and conclusion.
