This study addresses challenges in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks(UWSNs)such as high end-to-end latency,poor link quality,routing voids,and node mobility by proposing a novel routing protocol-the Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm clustered routing protocol(BASC).Initially,a certain number of cluster head nodes are initialized,followed by the selection of the optimal cluster heads based on a fitness function to form the best set of cluster head nodes for data transmission.The BASC protocol is compared with the DUCS protocol through simulation tests using ns-2 software,demonstrating that the BASC protocol reduces overall energy consumption by 26%and increases the data delivery rate by approximately 17%.The experiments prove that the BASC protocol effectively enhances network reliability,reduces network latency and energy consumption,thereby improving the overall communication performance of UWSNs.
