Analysis of VBF protocol in Underwater Sensor Network for Static and Moving Nodes

Underwater acoustic sensor network is used to monitor the ocean areas with the help of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, wireless data access points like tools. A number of problems like environmental changes, predicting disaster informations, exploration of mines can be addressed by applying this process in the sea. In this paper, we apply the routing protocol Vector Based Forwarding in two different architecture like static nodes and moving nodes in an underwater architecture. The comparison between the architecture is based on the simulation results, from the comparison the Energy Efficiency, Throughput, PDR are analyzed. Seeing the various graph results, we can conclude that the VBF protocol is significantly beneficial for the underwater architecture with moving nodes than static nodes.
