Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are promising and emerging frameworks having a wide range of applications. The underwater sensor deployment is beneficial; however, some factors limit the performance of the network, i.e., less reliability, high end-to-end delay and maximum energy dissipation. The provisioning of the aforementioned factors has become a challenging task for the research community. In UWSNs, battery consumption is inevitable and has a direct impact on the performance of the network. Most of the time energy dissipates due to the creation of void holes and imbalanced network deployment. In this work, two routing protocols are proposed to avoid the void hole and extra energy dissipation problems which, due to which lifespan of the network increases. To show the efficacy of the proposed routing schemes, they are compared with the state of the art protocols. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes outperform the counterparts.
水下无线传感器网络（UWSNs）是一种很有前途且新兴的框架，具有广泛的应用。水下传感器的部署是有益的；然而，一些因素限制了网络的性能，即可靠性较低、端到端延迟较高和最大能量消耗。为上述因素提供支持已经成为研究界的一项具有挑战性的任务。在 UWSNs 中，电池消耗是不可避免的，并且会直接影响网络的性能。大多数情况下，能量会由于空洞的产生和网络部署的不平衡而消耗掉。在这项工作中，提出了两种路由协议来避免空洞和额外的能量消耗问题，这使得网络的寿命得到了延长。为了展示所提出的路由方案的效果，将它们与现有的协议进行了比较。仿真结果表明，所提出的方案优于现有方案。
