Analysis on Simulation Tools for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs)

In general, underwater environment is highly unpredictable and challenging. For the performance analysis of such critical underwater environment simulators play a huge role. The features such as software platform, environment support, simulation language differentiates the effectiveness of the simulator. Based on the performance, some features has been analyzed in the network simulators. So, in this article the indepth comparison study of broad range of simulators are available for modelling Underwater Wireless Sensor Network is presented. This work is significant and really useful for researchers and network designers in the domain of oceanography to choose the correct simulator for better modeming of the underwater environment.
