Underwater acoustic sensor networks: Taxonomy on applications, architectures, localization methods, deployment techniques, routing techniques, and threats: A systematic review

Wireless information routing beneath the ocean, or usually underwater, has supplied the most excellent technical methods of oceanic observations. Traditionally, ocean bottoms have been monitored by placing oceanographic sensors that collect data at specific and defined ocean zones. When the duties are performed, the oceanographic instruments are recovered. Because there is no collaborative exchange of collected data between the collecting point and the monitoring end, data cannot be observed remotely. Underwater sensor networks can be wirelessly connected with sensors and monitors without extensive cable. Underwater wireless sensor networks are what they are called (UWSNs). This article investigates the various aspects of UWSNs, such as their significance, applications, network design, demands, routing, deployments and challenges.
