Abstract :
Shadow zone and delay aware routing (SZODAR) scheme is a practical and distributed routing protocol that can find routes around shadow zones. In SZODAR, sensor nodes can raise or lower their acoustic transducers to a depth such that shadow zones of the neighboring nodes are avoided. The engineering parameters in SZODAR and their evaluations are also presented.
