About more than 70% of the earth’s planet is occupied with water. These networks contain several sensor nodes and vehicles deployed underwater. Autonomous underwater devices and vehicles are used to collect data from these sensor nodes.
A challenge of underwater communication may be a long propagation delay, and bandwidth and sensor failures. Underwater, WSNs are equipped with a limited battery that can’t be recharged or replaced.
The difficulty of energy conservation for underwater WSNs involves the development of underwater communication and networking techniques.
