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.5 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
