Performance Enhancement of Oil Pipeline Monitoring for Underwater Wireless Sensor Network

In the last two decades, underwater acoustic sensor networks have begun to be used for commercial and noncommercial purposes. In this paper, the focus will be on improving the monitoring performance system of oil pipelines. Linear wireless sensor networks are a model of underwater applications for which many solutions have been developed through several research studies in previous years for data collection research. In underwater environments, there are certain inherent limitations, like large propagation delays, high error rate, limited bandwidth capacity, and communication with short-range. Many deployment algorithms and routing algorithms have been used in this field. In this work a new hierarchical network model proposed by mean adding new nodes to the parents/ child relationship of the hierarchal linear structure with improvement to Smart Redirect or Jump algorithm (SRJ) which supports this type of network in underwater. This improved algorithm is used in an underwater linear wireless sensor network for data transfer to reduce the complexity in routing algorithms for relay nodes and minimize overall delay in network communication. This work is implemented using OMNET++ and MATLAB based on their integration. The results obtained based on throughput, energy consumption, and end to the end delay.
