New MEC approach optimizes energy balance for underwater IoT data collection

This paper introduces MECEBDC, a novel approach for energy-balanced data collection in underwater sensor networks. It integrates mobile edge computing (MEC) with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to optimize clustering, cluster head selection, and data gathering. The proposed method also features a metaheuristic-based AUV routing algorithm that accounts for realistic underwater mobility dynamics, including gravitational and buoyancy forces. Simulations indicate that MECEBDC significantly reduces node energy consumption and extends network lifetime for long-term underwater IoT applications. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel routing algorithm for autonomous underwater vehicles, potentially improving efficiency in underwater IoT applications.
