Abstract:

Owing to the rapid development of underwater applications, the research on underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is becoming more and more significant. Low bandwidth, high latency, limited energy and node float mobility are basic challenges for underwater sensor networks. Most of the theories for terrestrial sensor networks can not be applied to underwater sensor networks. In this paper, we focus on the localization and routing issues for dynamic UWSNs. Location based routing protocols can suit the dynamic situation of UWSNs well. However, most research assumes that the nodes know their locations, which may be not appropriate for some applications. This paper combines these two aspects together to design a localization based routing protocol for dynamic UWSNs. The simulation results show our method can effectively route data from the source nodes to the sink nodes in a dynamic environment.
