Abstract: Underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) has proven its high stature in both civil and military operations including underwater life monitoring, communication and invasion detection. However, UWSNs are vulnerable to a wide class of power consumption issues. Underwater sensor nodes consume power provided by integrated limited batteries. It is a challenging issue to replace these batteries under harsh aquatic conditions. Thus, in an energy-constrained underwater system it is pivotal to seek strategies for improving the life expectancy of the sensors. In this paper, we propose transmission power control mechanism for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). We experimentally investigate the impact of transmission power and propose a control mechanism to enhance the performance of underwater wireless sensor network. In this proposed mechanism, source nodes will adjust its transmission power according to the location of destination node. This paper aims to provide a mechanism which is incorporated in SEEC. This study also outlines the mathematical modeling for proposed idea. Moreover, we have compared results of our scheme with previous implemented schemes.
