Underwater Sensor Networks (USNs) are made up of a number of fixed and/or mobile sensor nodes that are deployed at various depths and are networked via wireless acoustic communication links to carry out collaborative monitoring missions over an area of interest. For this, the underwater sensor nodes require multi-hop communication and efficient routing schemes to communicate with sink. Hence an efficient...
