Beckoning Penguin Swarm Optimization Protocol for Routing in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) plays a significant role in the communication world where it still uses cables. Due to minimum development in the underwater network, the communication is made still using traditional routing protocols that are developed for other specific networks where it won’t be giving its better performance. To increase the delivery of packets and decrease the delay and energy consumption, this paper proposes a protocol inspired namely Beckoning Penguin Swarm Optimization Protocol (BPSOP) which is inspired by the natural characteristics of penguin. Foraging characteristics of penguin is applied to find the best route in UWSN. BPSOP is evaluated in NS3 using benchmark performance metrics and results indicate that BPSOP has better potential against existing protocols.
