- Abstract
- Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) are becoming increasingly promising to monitor aquatic environment. However, reliable data delivery remains challenging due to long propagation delay and high error-rate of underwater acoustic channel, limited energy and inherent mobility of sensor nodes. To address these issues, we propose a protocol called Path Reliability-Aware Data Delivery (PRADD) to improve data transfer reliability for delay tolerant underwater traffic. Data delivery reliability is significantly improved by selecting the next hop forwarder on-the-fly based on its link reliability, reachability to gateways and coverage probability through probabilistic estimation. Data forwarding solution is coupled with delay tolerant networking paradigm to improve delivery with reduced overhead. PRADD does not require active localization technique to estimate the updated location of a sensor node except its initial coarse location. The movement of an anchored node is exploited to estimate its coverage probability. Mobile message ferries are used to collect stored data from one or more nodes, called gateways. A strategy for gateway selection is devised to maximize their lifetime. Simulation results show that PRADD achieves significant performance improvement over competing protocols using low overhead and less energy.
