The invention belongs to the technical field of ocean cross-medium acoustic-electric cooperative
network communication, and discloses an improved AODV routing method for an ocean cross-medium acoustic-electric cooperative network, and the method comprises the steps: introducing a link
stability factor of radio and
underwater acoustic transmission when a
route is established; the water surface cross-medium node specifies related equipment for
data transmission according to the type of the destination node; after the node receives the routing response and establishes the routing, setting to send a HELLO packet at regular time for routing maintenance, and not sending the HELLO packet by other nodes which do not establish the routing; and after receiving the routing request, the
underwater destination node continuously sends two routing responses to the source node. According to the method, a routing establishment and maintenance mechanism is improved, acoustic-electric weighted hops and link stability factors are introduced, the problems that
underwater propagation
packet collision is caused by too many traditional AODV notification packets, the packet delivery rate is low and the time
delay is large due to the fact that the minimum hops serve as the principle are solved, the network time
delay is reduced, and the packet delivery rate and
throughput of integrated networking are improved.
