DCF: Dynamic Content Fetching in NDN based UWSN

Utilizing underwater applications enables various benefits for human life, including the monitoring of marine ecosystems, identification of underwater resources, detection of unidentified objects in military operations, assessment of aquatic pollution, and the ability to anticipate natural disasters. These applications are employed to enhance convenience and facilitate tasks in diverse domains. The underwater wireless sensor network is a solution that provides the aforementioned applications, offering valuable potential for decentralized wireless networks. Unlike IP Addresses, the Named Data Networking (NDN) paradigm places a greater emphasis on the network environment, addressing the specific needs and challenges of the network. Considering the dynamic nature of water, the packet loss ratio tends to increase. Therefore, there is a requirement for an effective forwarding approach in Underwater Named Data Networks that minimizes energy consumption while efficiently handling multiple interest packets. In this scheme, we aim to get maximum data packets with minimum packet loss rate in such dynamic nature of water as well as to control the congestion by adjusting window size of content names within an Interest packets.
