Congestion in Mobile Ad Hoc Network causes packet loss, longer end-to-end data delivery delay which affects the overall performance of the network significantly. To ensure high throughput, the routing protocol should be congestion adaptive and should be capable of handling the congestion. In this research work, we propose a Multilevel Congestion avoidance and Control Mechanism (MCCM) that exploits both congestion avoidance and control mechanism to handle the congestion problem in an effective and efficient way. MCCM is capable of finding an energy efficient path during route discovery process, provide longer lifetime of any developed route. The efficient admission control and selective data packet delivery mechanism of MCCM jointly overcome the congestion problem at any node and thus, MCCM improves the network performance in term of packet delivery ratio, lower data delivery delay and high throughput. The result of performance evaluation section shows that, MCCM outperforms the existing routing protocols carried out in Network Simulator-2(NS-2).

Underwater sensor network is one of the potential research arenas that opens the window of pleasing a lot of researcher in studying the field. Network layer of the underwater sensor networks must be one of the most attractive fields to build up anew protocol. In this paper, we proposed a underwater sensor network routing protocol named Energy Efficient Fitness based routing protocol for under water sensor networks (EEF) that promises the best use of total energy consumptions. The proposed routing protocol takes into account residual energy, depth and distance from the forwarding node to the sink node to guide a packet from source to the destination node. The prominent advantages of the proposed protocol are to confirm higher network life time and less end to end delay. The proposed protocol does not use control packet that causes much energy consumption and end to end delay. Simulation has been performed to certify the better result of the proposed routing protocol.
