Abstract

Multi-hop communication in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) brings new challenges in reliable data transmission. Recent work shows that data collection from underwater sensor nodes using Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) minimizes multi-hop data transmission, improving energy efficiency in UASN. However, due to continuous movements, AUV has limited communication time to collect data from sensor nodes in UASN. We therefore propose a novel underwater routing protocol, namely AEERP (AUV aided Energy Efficient Routing Protocol). In AEERP, an AUV collects data from gateway nodes. Among all the nodes, selected nodes play the role of gateway node for communication with AUV. Gateway nodes are selected based on RSSI values of the hello packet received from AUV. In addition, after consuming energy up to a certain threshold by a gateway node, another high energy node is selected as a gateway node. This adaptive selection of gateway node balances energy consumption increasing network lifetime. Mathematical analysis and NS-2 simulation show that AEERP performs better than Travel Salesperson Problem (TSP) in terms of energy cost and data delivery ratio.
