INTELLIGENT EFFICIENT ROUTING AND LOCALIZATION IN THE UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK TO IMPROVE NETWORK LIFETIME

The inefficiency of the localization process mostly causes delays and operational difficulties in wireless sensor network (WSN) topologies. When localization is suboptimal, the time required for path creation significantly increases, leading to reduced network lifetime and diminished routing efficiency. To address these critical issues, our research focuses on developing a novel procedure that optimizes routing and localization. In this context, localization is the initial step for reaching sensor terminals, followed byactivating the routing mechanism.
