Energy preserved mobicast routing prorocol with static node for underwater acoustic sensor network

Abstract

In this paper, the proposed approach efficiently reduces the energy consumption in Mobicast routing protocol for 3D underwater sensor networks (USN). Many numbers of sensor nodes exist in the 3-D USN, which are deployed in the 3-D environment and sensor nodes be buoyant at dissimilar profound to monitor a specific phenomenon. The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) travels along a path which is defined by the user to fetch the sensing data from an underwater sensor node. The Mobicast routing protocol for underwater sensor networks is used to afford a spatiotemporal solution for the underwater sensor networks and also it provides an efficient data collection and an energy saving routing protocol for the USN. The proposed approaches use a static sensor node which collects the gathered data from other nodes in its region and send these collected data to AUV when it enters 3-D ZOR, thereby reducing the energy used for transmission. The performance is analyzed and simulation result of new Mobicast protocol shows that the sufficient data delivery rate and low energy consumption.
