Abstract<\/h2>\n
This paper introduces a novel energy-efficient lightweight, void hole avoidance, localization, and trust-based scheme, termed as Energy-Efficient and Trust-based Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (EETAUV) protocol designed for 6G-enabled underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs). The proposed scheme addresses key challenges in UASNs, such as energy consumption, network stability, and data security. It integrates a trust management framework that enhances communication security through node identification and verification mechanisms utilizing normal and phantom nodes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Furthermore, a 6G communication module is deployed to reduce network delay and enhance packet delivery, contributing to more efficient data transmission. Leveraging Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), the EETAUV protocol offers a lightweight approach for node discovery, identification, and verification while ensuring a high data transmission rate through a risk-aware strategy including at low computational cost. The protocol\u2019s performance is evaluated through extensive simulations and compared against state-of-the-art methods across various metrics, including network lifetime, throughput, residual energy, packet delivery ratio, mean square error, routing overhead, path loss, network delay, trust, distance, velocity, Computational Cost of Routing, and data security. The results demonstrate the superior cumulative performance of the proposed EETAUV scheme, making it a robust solution for secure, efficient, and reliable communication in UASNs.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
