Evaluation of Effect Mobility Node on Underwater Sensor Network Using VBVA Routing

Abstract

We will show evaluation of performance Vector Based Void Avoidance (VBVA) routing for application mobility node on Underwater Sensor Network (UWSN). The research method is building the simulation using Network Simulator (NS-2.30) under operating system Linux Ubuntu. The installed NS-2.30 is added with Aqua-Sim module developed by Peng Xie. The final output from NS-2 will be visualized to graphic and table that will be analyzed using measurement metric packet delivery ratio, throughput, delay, and packet loss and energy consumption using AWK scripts with added with several modifications. The result of this simulation indicates that increasing number of nodes will result in loss of quality. One of them is decrease in packet delivery ratio. The decline was caused by that many packet collisions happen.
