Abstract

Due to advancements in WSN, there is a growing interest in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), which are also widely used in disaster prevention and marine engineering research. UASNs present a number of unique challenges, such as continuous sensor node mobility. A recent study found that in subaquatic environments, location-based opportunistic routing strategies can deliver exceptional quality of service (QoS). This study presents ELOORP, a fast operating framework that leverages localization-based optimized opportunistic routing protocol for various UASNs platform applications. Our simulations in NS-2 demonstrate that the protocol outperforms current protocols in terms of energy economy and quality of service. Examining the scalability of the suggested routing methods involves varying the size of the network and the transmission range. With network scales between 100 and 500, the evaluation's results demonstrate that the ELOORP works better than the present routing protocols.
