Enhanced Single Chain-Based Scheme in Cylindrical Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Application-oriented underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are planned to design in such a way that they can monitor and transfer information efficiently. Therefore, quality data routing schemes are required to achieve certain goals. Many routing protocols are designed for application oriented networks. These types of networks require deployment strategies with quality data routing. Application like oil spillage monitoring requires cylindrical deployment of sensor nodes. So, there is a need of proposing new protocols which can minimize and balance the energy consumption of nodes. In our proposed protocol we introduce the energy balancing mechanism for single chain-based routing scheme (SCBS) in cylindrical network to prolong the network lifetime along with increased throughput.
