Abstract

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) face challenges regarding high propagation delay, limited bandwidth, 3D topology and excessive energy consumptions. In this paper, we propose a routing scheme with circular field for an efficient collection of data packets by using two mobile sinks. Moreover, we have compared results of our scheme with previous implemented schemes which are used to measure the usage of mobile sink in the collection of data packets. We have compared the proposed scheme with current state-of-the-art routing protocols. The statistical significance of this work was analyzed in MATLAB. Marked observations to emerge from our results include an improvement in lifetime, increased throughput, increment in alive nodes and balanced energy consumption. In our view, these results strengthen the validity of our proposed circular field. We observe a significant increase in received packets because maximum nodes are alive till 1500 rounds which provides maximum communication and less chance of creating void holes.
