Cluster-based AUV communication for delay-sensitive vulnerability detection using NDN.

The name data network is an information-based network to support futuristic internet traffic. However, the application of naive NDN in an underwater environment is not efficient; because it broadcasts the packets in the network that increases the network load, and decreases the communication efficiency. So, we proposed the novel cluster-based AUV communication scheme for malicious AUV detection and information dissemination within the minimum delay. It clusters the AUVs based on common interest and only enables H-AUV to exchange packets in inter/ intracluster communication. The results show improvement in communication efficiency within the minimum delay, decrease network load, and also minimizes the packet loss probability.
