Abstract

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) are a class of emerging networks that experience variable and high propagation delays and limited available bandwidth. Because of the different environment under the ocean, the whole protocol stack should be re-designed to fit for the surroundings. In this paper, we only focus on the routing protocols in the network layer. We survey the state-of-the-art routing protocols and give a comparison of them with respect to the important challenging issues in UWSNs. The pros and cons are discussed and compared for the routing protocols.
