Abstract: In underwater environment, the sensor nodes are deployed for collecting information and sending back to the base station. Establishing astute communication link among sensors in multi-link routing environment is a key challenge for all underwater routing protocols. A sagacious communication link can only guarantee the maximum data transfer rate. The link selection mechanism of three underwater routing protocol, i.e., energy-aware opportunistic routing (EnOR) protocol, shrewd underwater routing synergy using porous energy shell (SURS-PES) and underwater shrewd packet flooding mechanism (USPF) have been investigated. After analysing performance results of these protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, network lifespan and energy consumption using NS2 with AquaSim 2.0 simulator. The protocol existing, with sagacious link selection mechanism in multi-link routing environment has been identified. The identification of this sagacious link selection mechanism is a novel approach which can give specific knowledge for targeted output without wasting resources for irrelevant objectives.

Keywords: flooding mechanism; underwater routing; link selection; sagacious link; sink node; opportunistic routing; multi-link routing.
