In underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), information transmission is extremely challenging because of the underwater channel. Underwater acoustic channel suffers from long propagation delay and low bandwidth is inclined to packet losses. Hence, the design of an energy efficient communication system is challenging under the water. In this paper, we present an energy efficient clustered multi-hop routing...

Innovations in technology that have enabled efficient wireless tiny devices propelled the concept of Internet of Things. It is expected that mobile data traffic will experience 8-fold growth between 2015 and 2020 and the number of mobile connected devices will reach 11.6 billion by 2020. Main factors of this exponential growth and wide acceptance are the integration of several technologies and communications...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is widely used in IOT, military and environmental application. However, WSN is energy-constrained and the network nodes placed in hostile environment are hard to replace. Therefore, designing an energy-efficient routing algorithm is significant.

These days wireless sensor networks are being used in many different fields. Limited energy and efficient usage of energy are the most important factors that should be considered in these networks. Node clustering increases the efficacy of the energy consumption. Each cluster has a cluster head(CH) that is a member of that cluster and its duty is sending and receiving data in the network. So finding...
In disaster situations, networks are fragmented due to the disruptions of communication infrastructure and stable connectivity between nodes is not guaranteed. Therefore, opportunistic forwarding based on delay tolerant networks (DTN) should be used for message delivery in such disaster situations. Also, information centric network (ICN) approach can be used for communication of urgent messages to...
