Transmission scheme based on collaborative AUV communication

Underwater wireless sensor networks can monitor ocean information, which provides a new approach to marine environmental monitoring, disaster warning and resource exploration. However, the development of underwater wireless sensing networks is limited by factors such as ocean currents and limited energy of the sensors themselves. Based on this situation, this paper proposes a transmission scheme based on collaborative communication with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), in which autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used as a tool for distributed data collection and forwarding, which can solve the problem of imbalanced energy consumption of sensor nodes in the traditional multi-hop underwater communication network. At the same time, we consider the influence of ocean currents on the node positions to maximize the imitation of the real underwater environment, and the simulation results show that the proposed transmission scheme for collaborative communication with AUVs can significantly prolong the service life of underwater sensor networks.
