The invention relates to a multi-channel interference source node position
privacy protection method in an
underwater acoustic sensor network, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, respectively selecting a
node clustering mode and a region division mode according to the characteristics of a static layer and a dynamic layer in combination with an Euckmann drifting model; secondly, in order to cope with monitoring attacks of attackers, combining source-
pseudo data hybrid transmission and MAC layer multi-channel interference, covering a
source data channel with multi-
pseudo data channel interference, and protecting the position privacy of a source node; after multi-channel interference
data transmission is utilized, enabling an
underwater node to use a principal component analysistechnology to reduce the dimension of a sensing
signal, enhancing the AUV movement sensing of the node, then predicting the AUV movement direction by using an equal SNR curve, and adjusting the working state of the node in time; and finally, enabling the AUV in each region to plan a data collection
route through an
ant colony
algorithm, and transmitting data to the mobile
base station after data collection. According to the method, the success rate of
attack monitoring of an attacker can be hindered, the collection efficiency of
underwater data is improved, the default known
precondition of the node position is abandoned, and the protection of the source node position privacy in the underwater environment is enhanced.
