A MOVE TOWARDS UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Despite having a similar functionality with terrestrial networks, Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) exhibit several architectural differences which are mainly due to the transmission medium characteristics and the acoustic signals to transmit data. Routing in UWSNs is very challenging due to specific characteristics that distinguish UWSNs from other wireless networks such as wireless ad hoc networks or cellular networks.
