Abstract
Recently, underwater communication has been developing in many ways, such as wired communication, underwater acoustic communication (UAC), underwater radio wave wireless communication (URWC), underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC). The main issue in underwater communication is the communication interruption because signals are affected by various factors in underwater environment. Consequently, communication links are unstable and real time communication is almost impossible. Therefore, we considered combining both underwater communication and delay tolerant network technologies. In this paper, we present the Focused Beam Routing considering node Direction (FBRD) protocol for UOWC, we use ONE simulator to evaluate the performance regarding delivery probability. The results show better results for FBR angles around 30\(^\circ \), while if we use angles over 30\(^\circ \), the delivery probability decreases, because of the short communication ranges. In addition, the proposed FBRD protocol not only achieved high delivery provability than FBR but also has lower hop counts.
