How well do you know location-based routing protocols for UWSNs?

• The paper proposes a location-based void avoidance routing protocol for UWSNs.
• The protocol uses a beacon-less geographic forwarding mechanism to avoid voids.
• A location prediction method is incorporated to estimate the location of the next hop.
• The proposed protocol outperforms existing protocols in packet delivery ratio, energy efficiency, and end-to-end delay.
• The protocol does not consider the impact of multiple voids on network performance.
• The location prediction method may not be accurate under certain conditions.
• UWSNs face the problem of voids and broken links caused by water currents and obstacles.
• The proposed protocol provides an effective solution for avoiding voids in UWSNs.
• The protocol is suitable for applications that require reliable data transmission over long distances in challenging environments.
• The paper was published in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing in 2019.
