Underwater wireless sensor network route optimization using BIHH technique

Abstract

Underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is established in water bodies such as oceans, seas and rivers to observe the activity of military, to perform rescue operations and to do mining activity of resources. The sensor nodes communicate through acoustic channels. These nodes have limited battery life (energy), narrow bandwidth and a channel is incurred with delays and noise posing security thrust. The art of work presented different routing protocols in this era to utilize energy and bandwidth efficiently with less delay and to provide the security against black hole attack. However, these methods do not show an appropriate enhancement in the security and to utilize the bandwidth efficiently due to mobile environment. As a result of which, the delay also increases. In this paper a secured and bandwidth utilization path is enhanced using Bellman Inora Hex Hamming technique (BIHH), which not only improves the performance of the routing but also saves the energy. The presented approach is validated with network simulator.
