RT Journal Article T1 Self-Organizing and Scalable Routing Protocol (SOSRP) for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks A1 Kumar Hindu, Sateesh A1 Hyder, Waheeduddin A1 Luque-Nieto, Miguel Ángel A1 Otero-Roth, Pablo A1 Poncela-González, Javier AB Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASN) have two important limitations: a veryaggressive (marine) environment, and the use of acoustic signals. This means that the techniques forterrestrial wireless sensor networks (WSN) are not applicable. This paper proposes a routing protocolcalled “Self-Organizing and Scalable Routing Protocol” (SOSRP) which is decentralized and based ontables residing in each node. A combination of the hop value to the collector node and the distance isused as a criterion to create routes leading to the sink node. The expected functions of the protocolinclude self-organization of the routes, tolerance to failures and detection of isolated nodes. Throughthe implementation of SOSRP in Matlab and a model of propagation and energy being appropriatefor marine environment, performance results are obtained in different scenarios (varying both nodesand transmission range) that include parameters such as end-to-end packet delay, consumption ofenergy or length of the created routes (with and without failure). The results obtained show a stable,reliable and suitable operation for the deployment and operation of nodes in UASN networks.
