USPF: Underwater Shrewd Packet Flooding Mechanism through Surrogate Holding Time

Algorithm 1

Relay node formation.
(1)Sensor node S broadcasts the packet (Pktbr)
(2)Node P receives the packet (Pktrcv)
(3)P determines path (SPd), locates the destination D (PDd)
(4)(FHA) Forwarder Hop Angle appears at P, count α
(5)Neighboring node with higher residual energy RE, (CHA) Counterpart Hop Angle Q, count β
(6)If then Q is within transmission range Else
(7)If , (Pktrcv) rebuff
(8)End if
