In these networks, fundamental difference between operational methodologies of routing schemes arises due to the requirement of time-critical applications; therefore, there is a need for the design of delay-sensitive techniques. In this paper, Delay-Sensitive Depth-Based Routing (DSDBR), Delay-Sensitive Energy Efficient Depth-Based Routing (DSEEDBR), and Delay-Sensitive Adaptive Mobility of Courier nodes in Threshold-optimized Depth-based routing (DSAMCTD) protocols are proposed to empower the depth-based routing schemes. The performance of the proposed schemes is validated in UASNs. All of the three schemes formulate delay-efficient Priority Factors (PF) and Delay-Sensitive Holding time ([Formula: see text]) to minimize end-to-end delay with a small decrease in network throughput. These schemes also employ an optimal weight function ([Formula: see text]) for the computation of transmission loss and speed of received signal. Furthermore, solution for delay lies in efficient data forwarding, minimal relative transmissions in low-depth region, and better forwarder selection. Simulations are performed to assess the proposed protocols and the results indicate that the three schemes largely minimize end-to-end delay along with improving the transmission loss of network. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/532676","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,25]],"date-time":"2015-03-25T23:27:33Z","timestamp":1427326053000},"page":"532676","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Delay-Sensitive Routing Schemes for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Javaid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CAST, COMSATS Institute of IT, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"},{"name":"EE Department, COMSATS Institute of IT, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"M.
