- Abstract
An increasing number of scholars are researching underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), including the physical layer, the protocols of the routing layer, the MAC layer, and the cross-layer. In UASNs, the ultimate goal is to transmit data from the seabed to the surface, and a well-performed routing protocol can effectively achieve this goal. However, the nodes in the network are prone to drift, and the topology is easily changed because of the movement caused by ocean currents, resulting in a routing void. The data cannot be effectively aggregated to the sink terminal on the surface. Thus, it is extremely important to determine how to find an alternative node as a relay node after node drift and how to rebuild a reliable transmission path. Although many relay routing protocols have been proposed to avoid routing voids, few of them consider the relay node selection between the outage probability and the ocean current model. Therefore, we propose an ocean current motion model based routing (OCMR) protocol to avoid the routing void in UASNs. We predicted underwater node movement based on the ocean current motion model and designed a protection radius to construct a limited search coverage based on the optimal outage probability; then, the node with the best fitness value within the protection radius was selected as the alternative relay node using an improved WOA. In OCMR, the problem of the routing void caused by ocean current motion is effectively suppressed. The simulation results show that, compared with VBF, HH-VBF, and QELAR, the proposed OCMR platform performs well in terms of the PDR (packet delivery ratio), average end-to-end delay, and average energy consumption.
