A new method for routing protocols using hybrid fuzzy clustering in UWSNs by Xiaoju Wang, Bin Meng, Xuexu Yuan, Junwei Zhao

“…Besides, the new scheme improved energy variance by 40% at nodes to prolong the network lifetime and maintain a higher throughput in conditions of variable network load. This fuzzy clustering technique stands apart because it tries to overcome UWSN-specific challenges using adaptive data aggregation along with multistep communication and hence is more resistant and energy-efficient compared to the conventional protocols.…”
