Energy Efficient and Quality-of-Service Aware Routing using Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

In current years, there has been an increasing attention in Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). Underwater sensor networks (USNs) can be applied for many various purposes. To address the routing issue, the Cuckoo Search Optimization Algorithm with Energy Efficient and QOS Aware (CSOA-EQ) based routing methods have been proposed in this chapter. Every application is important in its own right, but some of them can help improve sea investigation to meet a variety of underwater applications, such as a catastrophic event alert system (such as torrent and seismic monitoring), supported navigation, oceanographic data collection, and underwater surveillance, ecological applications (such as the nature of organic water and contamination monitoring), modern applications (such as marine investigation), and so on. For example, sensors can assess specific metrics, such as base intensity and securing pressure, to monitor the auxiliary nature of the securing environment in offshore engineering applications. UASNs have also improved our understanding of underwater environments, such as climate change, underwater creature life, and the number of inhabitants in coral reefs.
