FDF: Fragment based Data Forwarding in NDN based UWSN

Utilizing underwater technology encompasses a range of applications, such as monitoring ecosystems, locating resources, identifying objects in military operations, detecting underwater pollution, and predicting natural disasters. These endeavors aim to enhance convenience and well-being for individuals. One of the solutions offering the mentioned applications is the underwater wireless sensor network. Decentralized wireless networks hold significant promise. NDN, a network paradigm, prioritizes the network environment over IP addresses. However, the lossy nature of water leads to an increased packet loss ratio. This highlights the necessity for an energy efficient forwarding approach in Underwater NDN. In this proposed approach, our aim is to access the packet with lesser number of loss rate. We deal with the big chunk size for avoiding huge delay in satisfying packets.
