A New Approach To Minimize Power Consumption In Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper was presented based on a clustering method to minimize power consumption in underwater wireless sensor networks. The main objective of the proposed method is to choose an energetic path. The proposed clustering scheme operates with the round, so that each round consists of two phases the cluster head selection and the data transmission. After the end of each round which is called a tround, the cluster head selection phase begins again. The obtained simulation results showed that the efficiency of the proposed method was better than L2ABF in terms of energy consumption and end-to-end delay.
