Abstract
In this paper, we propose an adaptive triangular deployment algorithm that can adjust sensor distribution depending on the variation in communication performance in an underwater environment. To predict the distance between sensor nodes, a performance surface model is implemented by estimating the communication performance based on spatio-temporal environment factors affecting the communication performance of the underwater sensor node. Subsequently, the performance surface model is applied to the adaptive triangular deployment algorithm and is used to control the distance between nodes. Therefore, underwater wireless sensor networks deployed with adaptive triangular deployment algorithms can achieve a maximum connectivity rate with an optimal number of nodes.
Highlights
The nodes constituting a wireless sensor network collect various information from the environment and transmit this data to the adjacent nodes [1]
We propose an adaptive triangular deployment algorithm that can optimize connectivity in a sensor network as adjusting the spacing between nodes considering communication performance according to underwater environment
To consider the communication performance according to the underwater environment, actual location data from a sea such as sound velocity structure, seabed topography, and seabed constitution are collected
Summary
The nodes constituting a wireless sensor network collect various information from the environment and transmit this data to the adjacent nodes [1]. In our proposed adaptive triangular deployment algorithm, node deployment is possible by adjusting the node interval by considering the communication performance depending on the node positions in a given area It is more advantageous than the conventional triangular deployment algorithm in ensuring connectivity between nodes. It is possible to construct an underwater sensor network that maintains high connectivity with an optimal number of nodes using an adaptive triangular deployment algorithm considering communication performance in an underwater environment. This remainder of this paper is organized as follows.
