With the advance of the Internet of Underwater Things, underwater acoustic sensor network (UASN) has been considered as a promising technology for oceanic engineering to explore and exploit marine resources. Due to the time variability, frequency selectivity, and the very limited available bandwidth, underwater acoustic (UWA) channels are generally known as one of the most challenging communication media in use today. The highly dynamic nature of UWA links calls for adaptive, scalable, and efficient routing schemes for UASNs. Depth-based routing has attracted much attention because it can work efficiently without the need for full-dimensional location information of sensors. However, it suffers from the problems of void region and detouring forwarding. To this end, this paper proposes a distance-vector-based opportunistic routing (DVOR) scheme to address these problems. DVOR uses a query mechanism to establish the distance vectors for UWA nodes, which record the smallest hop counts toward the sink. Then, an opportunistic routing is developed to coordinate the packet forwarding based on the distance vectors. DVOR has a low signaling overhead in opportunistic forwarding, as well as the ability to avoid the problems of void region and long detour. Simulation results show that DVOR outperforms the existing routing protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, energy-efficiency, and average end-to-end delay.
