CVDS - CONNECTIVITY BASED VOID DETECTION AND OPTIMIZED SECURE ROUTING IN UNDERWATER SENSOR
In the realm of underwater sensor networks, the process of transmitting packets from a source to a destination presents a multitude of requirements and challenges. Key considerations encompass neighbour detection, path maintenance, void region resolution, and the establishment of secure communications. The network's dynamic nature often leads to frequent disconnections, making it crucial to devise effective strategies. The proposed CVDS - Connectivity-based void detection and optimum secure routing method for underwater sensors primarily centres on path formation via hop routing. In situations where a node finds itself within a void region, the mobile sink is dispatched to retrieve the packets before their onward delivery to the destination. Moreover, each node diligently evaluates the trustworthiness of potential neighbours before selecting them as forwarders, ensuring secure data transmission. The implementation of this approach has led to notable improvements in network performance, particularly in terms of enhanced throughput and minimized delays. These enhancements underscore the efficacy of the proposed method, which addresses critical challenges in underwater sensor network communication and routing.
