ABSTRACT

The monograph “Optimizing Routing Protocols for Energy Conservation in UWSN” explores advanced strategies to address the critical issue of energy efficiency in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs). These networks have significant potential in various applications, such as aquatic life management, pollution monitoring, and coastal surveillance, but are often limited by high energy consumption. This work proposes innovative routing protocols that aim to conserve energy, extend the operational lifetime of the network, and enhance its reliability. The research encompasses a detailed study of UWSN architecture, acoustic propagation, and specialized routing protocols. The proposed energy-efficient strategies are thoroughly analyzed and validated through extensive experimentation, providing practical solutions and valuable insights for researchers and practitioners. The findings of this monograph contribute to the advancement of sustainable and efficient UWSNs, offering a robust framework for future developments in this field.

Keywords: UWSN, energy efficiency, routing protocols, underwater communication, acoustic propagation, network lifetime, environmental monitoring, sustainable networks
