Architecture, Routing Protocols and Data Aggregation in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - A Review Based Description

摘要

A Wireless Sensor Network is an evenly distributed independent sensor monitoring the data available around them. This is applied even to underwater study also. Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) methodology is extensively used in several areas like underwater monitoring and exploration applications and has demonstrated its high significance in its adoption. In this survey, the concept of UWSN with Cluster based data gathering works experienced and exposed by the researchers were discussed for the efficient data transfer, decreasing the data redundancy and improving the life time of the system. The data gathering procedures are useful to tackle the energy consumption of the Sensor Node. Hence this paper mainly concentrate on the information regarding algorithms which are compatible for wireless sensor networks requiring minimum energy demand, thereby saving the energy in UWSNs.
