Distance based Routing Scheme for Underwater Sensor Networks

Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN) are gaining increasing importance. The main constituents of UWSN are Static Acoustic sensor nodes and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. The sensor nodes located in a particular depth are to pass the data to the sinks. As acoustic transmission range is limited, the information has to be routed via many hops. We are proposing a distance based routing scheme for such an under water network. The performance of the network employing a distance based routing scheme has been evaluated for different scenarios using UNET underwater network simulator.
