The document analyzes cooperative depth-based routing (CODBR) and cooperative energy-efficient depth-based routing (CEEDBR) protocols in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). It highlights the unique operational challenges faced by UWSNs, including energy efficiency, bandwidth limitations, and high error rates, while discussing the effectiveness of proposed routing techniques to improve network lifespan and reliability. Applications of UWSNs include environmental monitoring, disaster management, and military uses, emphasizing the need for advanced communication strategies in complex underwater environments.
