Efficient Resource Allocation Design for Mitigating Multi-Jammer in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are used for monitoring costal area and military surveillance applications, for example tsunami prevention and target tracking etc. Jamming is considered to be a serious problem in UWSNs where the intruder affects the lifetime of sensor motes and impact the packet transmission performance. This paper consider that the jammer device has capability of reducing battery lifetime and preventing communication of trustworthy UWSN mote. Existing resource utilization model are not efficient considering presence of multiple jammers. For overcoming research issues this work present efficient resource allocation design for mitigating multiple jammers in UWSNs. The ERA model adopts cross layer design and can communicate in cooperative manner using direct and hop based communication that maximize resource utilization quality specifier. Experiment outcome shows the ERA achieves much better detection rate, resource utilization, packet drop, and energy efficiency performance compared with existing resource allocation methodologies considering presence of multiple jammer motes.
