A reliable and cost effective next hop selection for aggregative path generation in UWSN

Data Aggregation is one of the optimized routing approach used to avoid the multicast communication by forming a single path of all destinations. In a clustered network, the aggregation is most required approach to perform the cooperative communication between the clusters. While performing the data aggregation the most critical issue is the sequence identification of nodes visit. In this present work, we have defined a novel parametric approach to generate the aggregative path for underwater sensor network. In this work, the broadcasting is resolved in single path communication. The aim of the work is to provide the best next hop selection under multiple parameters like energy, distance, congestion, delay and throughput analysis. These five parameters are observed under the localization behavior while generating the aggregative path. The simulation results obtained from the work shows the effectiveness of work in terms of energy, distance and the network life.
