Optimization of an Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Architecture with Wave Glider as a Mobile Gateway

This paper presents an original probabilistic model of a hybrid underwater wireless sensor network(UWSN),which includes a network of stationary sensors placed on the seabed and a mobile gateway.The mobile gateway is a wave glider that collects data from the underwater network segment and retransmits it to the processing center.The authors consider the joint problem of optimal localization of stationary network nodes and the corresponding model for bypassing reference nodes by a wave glider.The optimality of the network is evaluated according to the criteria of energy efficiency and reliability.The influence of various physical and technical parameters of the network on its energy efficiency and on the lifespan of sensor nodes is analyzed.The analysis is carried out for networks of various scales,depending on the localization of stationary nodes and the model of bypassing the network with a wave glider.As a model example,the simulation of the functional characteristics of the network for a given size of the water area is carried out.It is shown that in the case of a medium-sized water area,the model of“bypassing the perimeter”by a wave glider is practically feasible,energy efficient and reliable for hourly data measurements.In the case of a large water area,the cluster bypass model becomes more efficient.

Cooperative Nodes Localization for Three-Dimensional Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Based on Weighted Centroid Localization Algorithm

The underwater wireless sensor network(UWSN) has the features of mobility by drifting,less beacon nodes,longer time for localization and more energy consumption than the terrestrial sensor networks,which makes it more difficult to locate the nodes in marine environment.Aiming at the characteristics of UWSN,a kind of cooperative range-free localization method based on weighted centroid localization(WCL) algorithm for three-dimensional UWSN is proposed.The algorithm assigns the cooperative weights for the beacon nodes according to the received acoustic signal strength,and uses the located unknown nodes as the new beacon nodes to locate the other unknown nodes,so a fast localization can be achieved for the whole sensor networks.Simulation results indicate this method has higher localization accuracy than the centroid localization algorithm,and it needs less beacon nodes and achieves higher rate of effective localization.

Provisioning Intelligent Water Wave Optimization Approach for Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensor Networks

In the Acoustics channel,it is incredibly challenging to offer data transfer for time-sourced applications in an energy-efficient manner due to higher error rate and propagation delay.Subsequently,conventional re-transmission over any failure generally initiates significantly larger end-to-end delay,and therefore it is not probable for time-based services.Moreover,standard techniques without any re-transmission consume enormous energy.This investigation proposes a novel multi-hop energy-aware transmission-based intelligent water wave optimization strategy.It ensures reduced end-to-end while attaining potential amongst overall energy efficiency end-to-end packet delay.It merges a naturally inspired meta-heuristic approach with multi-hop routing for data packets to reach the destination.The appropriate design of this Meta heuristic-based energy-aware scheme consumes lesser energy than the conventional one-hop transmission strategy without re-transmission.However,there is no hop-by-hop re-transmission facilitated.The proposed model shows only lesser delay than conventional methods with re-transmission.This work facilitates extensive work to carry out the proposed model performance with the MATLAB simulation environment.The results illustrate that the model is exceptionally energyefficient with lesser packet delays.With 500 nodes,the packet delivery ratio of proposed model is 100%,average delay is reduced by 2%,total energy consumption is 8 J,average packet redundancy is 1.856,and idle energy is 6.9Mwh.The proposed model outperforms existing approaches like OSF,AOR,and DMR respectively.

A Void Avoidance Scheme for Grid-Based Multipath Routing in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

This work proposes a geographic routing protocol for UWSNs based on the construction of a 3D virtual grid structure, called Void-Avoidance Grid-based Multipath Position-based Routing (VA-GMPR). It consists of two main components, the multipath routing scheme and the grid-based void avoidance (GVA) mechanism for handling routing holes. The multipath routing scheme adopts node-disjoint routes from the source to the sink in order to enhance network reliability and load balancing. While the GVA mechanism handles the problem of holes in 3D virtual grid structure based on three techniques: Hole bypass, path diversion, and path backtracking. The performance evaluation of the VA-GMPR protocol was compared to a recently proposed grid-based routing protocol for UWSNs, called Energy-efficient Multipath Geographic Grid-based Routing (EMGGR). The results showed that the VA-GMPR protocol outperformed the EMGGR protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, and end-to end-delay. However, the results also showed that the VA-GMPR protocol exhibited higher energy consumption compared to EMGGR.
