Energy-Aware Multilevel Clustering Scheme for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

The expansion of wireless sensor networks in the underwater environment resulted networks. It has dramatically impacted research arena because its widespread and real-time applications. But successful implementation faces many issues. primary concern network is nodes’ energy depletion problem. In this paper, to improve lifetime network, an Energy-Aware Multi-level Clustering Scheme proposed. region considered 3D concentric cylinders with multiple levels. Further, each level divided into various blocks, representing one cluster. proposed algorithm follows vertical communication mode from sea bed surface area a bottom-up fashion. Multiple levels varying heights overcome issues due high water pressure towards bed. Simulations are carried out show efficiency algorithm, which performs better terms prolonged average residual energy. simulation result shows significant improvement compared current algorithms.
