Abstract

In this paper, we utilize a novel cross-stackc design that factors in the dynamics of the underwater channel to optimize the single-hop performance amongst multiple node pairs. This will result in a set of links that meet or exceed QoS requirements, which is further leveraged for network discovery and energy-efficient routing with minimum end-to-end packet delay. Thus, our proposed routing approach will provide means to guarantee application-specific QoS while also maximizing the network lifetime. Simulation experiments were conducted to validate the approach in a shallow water multipath environment.
