A Quality of Service Aware Source Routing Based Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) handle many underwater applications such as environment monitoring, surveillance and navigation. These generate varied types of traffic continuous bit rate, sporadic different packet sizes, leading to additional QoS requirements that are application dependent. This paper presents the development a Quality Service Aware Source Routing (QASR) protocol. QASR discovers multiple paths from sources sinks selects most compatible route among them. is distinctive because it incorporates parameters Signal Noise Ratio (SNR), latency residual energy. Depending on which these chosen, has three variants, namely, QASR-Latency (QASR-L), QASR-Residual Energy (QASR-RE) QASR-Signal (QASR-SNR). The performance protocol compared against traditional source routing protocols, with simulations showing reduction about 10% 20% in 5% lesser energy consumption than routing. exhibits comparable classic protocols while simultaneously adhering application. It also worth noting profile all variants do not have sudden drastic variations, profiles consistent trend-lines.
