MC: Maximum coverage routing protocol for underwater wireless sensor networks

Deployment of sensor nodes in underwater wireless sensor networks with a goal of maximum network field coverage is very difficult. Moreover, to access the information from sensor nodes efficiently in aquatic environment is very unpredictable. In our scheme sensor nodes are randomly deployed in the network filed. We have cover the maximum network field through constant mobility of two sinks. Due to consistent movement of mobile sinks every time maximum number of sensor nodes transmit their data packets to the respective mobile sink in their transmission range. Mobility of sinks increases the throughput with balanced energy consumption. Simulation results show that, MC protocol perform better in terms of network lifetime, throughput and energy consumption.
