Abstract

While several protocols are proposed in performing sub aquatic communication, routing and issues related to efficiency of energy are considered as important for the underwater sensor network. With a view of overcoming those issues, researches related to underwater sensor network happen to be still analyzing about how to improve performance of routing. In this study, we propose one new multi-layered routing protocol (MRP) that can be used in discovery of the efficient path and it also enhances the overall functioning of the end-to-end delay ration, effective utilization of energy, and network lifetime. Through advancing of its request for route from some node to a different one till reaching a particular surface node, MRP detects the path. The surface position nodes get stationed over the underwater and they are helpful to gather information which is sent from sub aquatic sensor nodes. We also suggest a new system called splice method that can be used in sub aquatic sensor correspondence for efficient data transmission via connection of the shortest route nodes. The splice function detects the sum of energy pertaining to a linked node and also the route having the greatest energy are being taken to forward data to surface position node. In case s surface position node happens to be busy with communication, then it will give an update instruction to the succeeding sub aquatic neighbor nor for taking a substitute surface position node for avoiding loss of data. After that, the sub aquatic node will take a substitute surface position node and will advance the particular information on to heap node. At the end, the surface position node advances the information on to the heap node; data gets transmitted in the shortest route in an energy-efficient manner and least possible distance with the lowest hops and ultimately, data gets forwarded by heap node to be stored on the Shell. Moreover, a list having information log is maintained by heap node, containing data about which data gets transmitted from which particular node and at what frequency of time duration the information was received, prior to storing the same in the shell. The particular shell that acts as buffer stores the data that has been advanced through heap node. In addition, we are also making use of segmented data reliable transfer protocol that achieves a dependable energy-effective transmission of data in sub aquatic sensor network.
