A Secure and Localized Cluster based Underwater Sensor Network

Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) deals with issues unlike terrestrial networks such as, a long propagation delay, a narrow bandwidth as well as high packet loss. In underwater environment, implementation of an efficient communication mechanism is a significant problem. The main issue in underwater sensor network is that nodes cannot be fixed due to continuous flow of water which ultimately affects data transmission. Localization and security are one of these issues to be considered in underwater sensor network design. In the proposed work the implementation of localization and security aspects in cluster based underwater sensor network is done in order to improve the network performance.
