Abstract

With the rise of the upsurge of exploiting marine resources and the rapid development of the research of terrestrial wireless sensor networks, the research of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs,) has become a new research hotspot. In UWSNs, routing protocol plays a very important role as one of the important components. This paper introduces several classical routing algorithms from the following categories: location, sector, reinforcement learning, and intelligent optimization algorithms. Finally, the paper also summarizes and prospects the research direction of underwater wireless sensor network routing algorithms.
