GCORP: Geographic and Cooperative Opportunistic Routing Protocol for Underwater Sensor Networks

Underwater Sensor Network (UWSN) is gaining popularity among researchers due to its peculiar features. But there are so many challenges in the design of UWSN system, and these quite unsustainable dynamic nature water waves. Perhaps most tedious challenge for UWSNs how transfer data at destination with a minimal energy rate. It can be accomplished by exploiting geographic opportunistic routing schemes send efficiently surface sinks cooperation relay nodes. With this aim, we introduce new protocol routing, named Geographic Cooperative Opportunistic Routing Protocol (GCORP). In GCORP, packets routed from source node coordination intermediate GCORP protocol, initially, multiple sinks-based network architecture established. Then, forwarding set being determined on basis depth fitness factor. Finally, best through weight calculation scheme set. We conduct simulations NS3 validate proposed concerning different metrics. The conclude that shows better performance than existing approaches.
