PROTOCOLO DE ENCAMINAMIENTO DISTRIBUIDO BASADO EN CLUSTERS PARA REDES DE SENSORES SUBMARINAS INALAMBRICAS

Distributed routing protocol based on clusters for wireless submarine sensor networks. Wireless submarine sensor networks present many challenges due to the properties of underwater environments, such as long propagation delays, node mobility and limited bandwidth. It is essential to design efficient routing protocols with respect to energy because the sensor nodes are powered by batteries that are difficult to load or replace. Most terrestrial sensor network protocols can not be applied because they have been designed for stationary networks and the protocols for existing ad-hoc networks do not work because they use flood techniques or continuous exchange of routing messages. A routing protocol without gps is proposed that minimizes the exchange of routing messages and uses aggregation of data. It assumes mobility of nodes and compensates for propagation delays using temporary advances combined with guard times. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
