Vector-Based Low-Delay Forwarding Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Underwater wireless sensor networks are new arising research hotspot. The paper first analyses the related vector-based forwarding protocols for underwater wireless sensor networks, and puts forward a novel data forwarding strategy for the candidate nodes, to reduce the delay in the forwarding nodes and improve the successful rate, so as to satisfy the requirements in the low delay environment. The experimental results show the obvious improvement in low delay and successful rate.
