Abstract
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) play a pivotal role in marine exploration and monitoring, yet face significant challenges in maintaining energy efficiency and dynamic adaptability. This paper introduces the Energy-efficient Hierarchical Dynamic Depth Adjustment Routing Protocol (EHDDAHRP) for UWSNs. EHDDAHRP integrates innovative features, including Distributed Sink Mobility and Semantic Self-healing, to enhance UWSN performance. The protocol employs a hierarchical structure, considering proximity, energy levels, and communication range during node initialization. Cluster formation criteria ensure balanced energy distribution, and the selection of Cluster Heads (CHs) is based on residual energy. Inter-cluster communication and dynamic adaptation mechanisms optimize network efficiency. A dynamic depth adjustment mechanism responds to environmental variables adapting the routing tree depth dynamically. The protocol introduces distributed sink mobility for strategic sink relocation and a semantic self-healing algorithm for context-aware fault recovery. EHDDAHRP presents a promising solution for UWSNs, offering improved adaptability, fault recovery, and overall network efficiency.
