摘要：Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN), similar to the terrestrial sensor networks, have differentchallenges such as limited bandwidth, low battery power, defective underwater channels, and high variablepropagation delay. A crucial problem in UWSN is finding an efficient route between a source and adestination. Consequently, great efforts have been made for designing efficient protocols while consideringthe unique characteristics of underwater communication. Several routing protocols are proposed for thisissue and can be classified into geographic and non-geographic routing protocols. In this paper we focuson the geographic routing protocols. We introduce a review and comparison of different algorithmsproposed recently in the literature. We also presented a novel taxonomy of these routing in which theprotocols are classified into three categories (greedy, restricted directional flooding and hierarchical)according to their forwarding strategies.
