  Abstract

Underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is a great technological advancement for numerous implementations, such as pollution monitoring tsunami offshore gas and oil reservoirs. Coherent routing with optimal energy use is necessary to send received data from the sensor to the sink hub. The distinct characteristics of the underwater circumstances make designing routing protocols problematic. Therefore, a novel Dove-based Hello Routing Protocol (DbHRP) was proposed to increase the data broadcasting rate within low energy. The nodes are initially initialized, and their positions are estimated. Subsequently, the dove function finds the SP(SP) from source to target, and the status of the target node is analyzed for data packet transmission. The data transfer function is planned based on the destination node's initial request priority if the target node needs to receive more data from a different source hub. Finally, the UWSN communication parameters were measured and compared with prevailing models.
