Abstract
Emerging Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) technologies need to address delays, disruptions and disconnections between nodes. Usage of acoustic waves is recommended in order to improve the propagation in water environment, but the communication becomes unstable when nodes are distant, so real-time communication faces a lot of challenges. The usage of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) protocols to forward data in UWSN might solve these problems. One characteristic of routing protocols for DTN is flooding of messages to increase the delivery probability. For instance, Epidemic Routing (ER) protocol floods the network with copies of generated messages, which creates a lot overhead in each node’s buffer, and uses a lot of valuable energy from the relay nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy-aware depth-based routing protocol, in order to decrease overhead and energy consumption, without deteriorating its network performance. We evaluate the performance of the EA-DBR based on message delivery ratio, overhead, and energy.
