Energy Efficient and Improved Node Localization in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an innovation that acts as the strong asset for terrestrial as well as underwater investigation. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are attracting intense research efforts due to their importance in various applications such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, industry, agriculture, military, transportation and Security etc. A WSN consists of a set of sensor nodes located in multiple areas that understand their environment and transmit sensor data to a base station. About 70 percent of our planet is covered with water, which is perhaps the most valuable resource on earth. About 90 percent of the oceans are invisible to the naked eye or out of reach, yet there are thousands of resources in this vast ocean that need to be explored. Understanding the natural resources that need to be developed deep underwater is essential to the development of a country. It appears that there has been a lot of research into Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) in recent years due to their wide range of applications in various underwater scenarios. UWSN upholds a wide range of common and military applications newline
