Assessment and analysis of the performance of Multi-Hop Internet of Underwater Things Networks

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the performance of multi-hop Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) networks under varying environmental and network conditions. The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is a technology that contributes to building smart cities, but it must overcome several challenges, including environmental concerns, connectivity barriers, and system architecture complexities. This paper presents a performance analysis of multi-hop Internet of Underwater Things Networks. We examine and assess the performance of multi-hop IoUT networks in terms of several key metrics, including throughput, network efficiency, packet loss rate, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The analysis provides valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of multi-hop IoUT networks.
