Reliable and Efficient Routing for Water Quality Monitoring in Underwater WSN

Monitoring water quality has become crucial to provide clean and safe water. The traditional monitoring procedures are useless because they take a lot of function, require a long time, and cannot give results instantly to promote proactive water contamination reactions. This paper introduces a Reliable and efficient routing for Water Quality Monitoring (REWQ) in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). This mechanism utilizes the Cuckoo search (CS) algorithm to select the next hop to transmit the data from the sender to the surface region sink. The CS algorithm computes the fitness function by node energy usage, depth value and loss ratio. The proposed CS algorithm aims to improve reliability and successful data forwarding. This model is implemented, and its performances are evaluated by network simulator-NS-3. From the simulation results, the REWQ mechanism minimizes the average deliverance time and improves the residual energy.
