| description | Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) have different characteristics in relation to terrestrial wireless sensor
networks; such as limited bandwidth capacity, high propagation delays and limited battery power. Although there has
been much work completed in developing protocols and models for terrestrial networks, these are rarely applicable for
underwater sensor networks. Up to today major efforts have been made for designing efficient protocols while
considering the underwater communication characteristics. An important issue on this research area is the construction
of an efficient clustering algorithm. Clustering in the context of UWSN is important as it contributes a great deal
towards the efficient use of energy resources. This paper reviews the most significant cluster based protocols proposed
for UWSN. Major performance issues of these protocols with respect to the network conditions such as packet delivery
ratio, average packet delay, node mobility effect and energy consumption are examined. The advantages and
disadvantages of each protocol are also pointed out. |
