IOUT (Internet of Underwater Things) relies on underwater acoustic sensors, which have limited resources such as battery power and bandwidth. The exchange of data among these sensors faces challenges like propagation delay, node displacement, and environmental errors, making network maintenance difficult. The objective of this study is to address the energy efficiency and performance issues in IOUT networks by proposing and evaluating an energy-efficient routing protocol called Efficient Cost Wakeup Routing Protocol (ECWRP). To achieve the objective, the study focuses on two key parameters: Cost and Duty Cycle. The Duty Cycle parameter helps in reducing undesirable impacts during underwater communications, improving the performance of the routing protocol. The Cost parameter is utilized to select the most efficient path for data transmission, considering factors such as transmitting power levels. The protocol is applied to a multi-hop mesh-based network. The proposed ECWRP routing protocol is assessed through simulations, demonstrating its superior efficiency compared to the Ride algorithm. By eliminating unnecessary handshaking and optimizing route selection, ECWRP significantly enhances energy efficiency and overall performance within the IoUT network. The study's findings on the enhanced energy efficiency and performance improvements achieved by the ECWRP protocol hold promising implications for the design and optimization of IoUT networks, paving the way for more sustainable and effective communication systems in underwater environments. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Efficient Cost Wakeup Routing Protocol (ECWRP) in enhancing energy efficiency and performance in multi-hop mesh-based IoUT networks. The protocol's utilization of the Duty Cycle parameter reduces undesirable impacts, while the Cost parameter enables the selection of the most efficient path for data transmission. The results confirm the superiority of the ECWRP protoc
