Energy-Effective Cooperative and Reliable Delivery Routing Protocols for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Underwater deployed sensors nodes are energy-constrained. Therefore, energy efficiency becomes crucial in underwater wireless sensor networks (U-WSNs). The adverse channel corrupts the packets and challenges their reliability. To handle these challenges, two routing schemes are introduced in this paper. They are effective energy and reliable delivery (EERD) and cooperative effective energy and reliable delivery (CoEERD). In EERD, the packets follow single-path routing and the best forwarder node is selected using a weight function such that packets are transferred via the reliable paths with low energy usage. Packet transfer via a single route in EERD has, however, compromised reliability as the undersea links bear harshness and unpredictability. Therefore, the CoEERD scheme adds cooperative routing to EERD, in which a relay node is introduced between a source–destination pair. The destination requests the relay when the packets it gets from the source are corrupted beyond a threshold value. Selection of weight function is unique and considers many factors to ensure low energy usage with reliability while considering nodes for data transfer. This also helps in selecting a single relay node rather than many relays in the conventional cooperative routing model. Based on simulation results, the EERD and CoEERD protocols have improved performance in energy usage, reliable packet transfer and delay.

“…Therefore, the IoT network faces many issues, which capture the interest of researchers to improve its efficiency. The last few decades have been quite active in IoT research, which resulted in a huge amount of proposals for various routing protocols [5], [6], security models [7], [8] and clustering techniques [9] that provide secure and trustful communication in the IoT networks. However, IoT networks are always threatened to be compromised by the external nodes, which mislead the networks by sending false data for their benefit.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging domain in which different devices communicate with each other through minimum human intervention. IoT devices are usually operated in hostile and unattended environments. Moreover, routing in current IoT architecture becomes inefficient due to malicious and unauthenticated nodes' existence, minimum network lifetime, insecure routing, etc. This paper proposes a lightweight blockchain based authentication mechanism where ordinary sensors' credentials are stored. As IoT nodes have a short lifespan due to energy depletion, few credentials are stored in the blockchain to achieve lightweight authentication. Moreover, the route calculation is performed by a genetic algorithm enabled software defined network controller, which is also used for on-demand routing to optimize the energy consumption of the nodes in the IoT network. Furthermore, a route correctness mechanism is proposed to check the existence of malicious nodes in the calculated route. Moreover, a detection mechanism is proposed to restrict the malicious nodes' activities, while a malicious node's list is maintained in the blockchain, which is used in the route correctness mechanism. The proposed model is evaluated by performing intensive simulations. The effectiveness of the proposed model is depicted in terms of gas consumption, which shows the optimized utilization of resources. The residual energy of the network shows optimized route calculation, while the malicious node detection method shows the number of packets dropped.

Energy Balanced Localization-Free Cooperative Noise-Aware Routing Protocols for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Owing to the harsh and unpredictable behavior of the sea channel, network protocols that combat the undesirable and challenging properties of the channel are of critical significance. Protocols addressing such challenges exist in literature. However, these protocols consume an excessive amount of energy due to redundant packets transmission or have computational complexity by being dependent on the geographical positions of nodes. To address these challenges, this article designs two protocols for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). The first protocol, depth and noise-aware routing (DNAR), incorporates the extent of link noise in combination with the depth of a node to decide the next information forwarding candidate. However, it sends data over a single link and is, therefore, vulnerable to the harshness of the channel. Therefore, routing in a cooperative fashion is added to it that makes another scheme called cooperative DNAR (Co-DNAR), which uses source-relay-destination triplets in information advancement. This reduces the probability of information corruption that would otherwise be sent over a single source-destination link. Simulations-backed results reveal the superior performance of the proposed schemes over some competitive schemes in consumed energy, packet advancement to destination, and network stability.
