Method for expanding positioning coverage area in underwater sound 3D sensor network

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater sound sensor network communication, and relates to a method for expanding a positioning coverage area in an underwater sound 3D sensor network. The method includes the steps that four anchor nodes are selected and send signals to cooperation points and unknown nodes respectively at the same time; after the cooperation points receive the signals from the anchor nodes, the signal are decoded and then recoded and sent to the unknown nodes; when the unknown nodes receive the signal from the anchor nodes, the time when the signal reach to is recoded; the signals from the anchor nodes and the signals of the cooperation points corresponding to the anchor nodes are combined to obtain information sent by the anchor nodes; ID numbers of the anchor nodes, the time when the signals are sent and positions of the anchor nodes are obtained; the distances from the anchor nodes to the unknown nodes are obtained; the distances from the four anchor nodes to the unknown nodes and corresponding coordinates of the anchor nodes are obtained to carry out positioning. According to the method, multipath fading underwater sound channel characteristics and limited node power are sufficiently considered, and the node positioning coverage area can be expanded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underwater acoustic sensor network communication, and specifically relates to a method for improving positioning coverage in a 3D structure mode. Background technique [0002] Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs, Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks) is a wireless sensor network composed of various underwater sensor nodes, which uses underwater sound as the communication medium and aims at ocean monitoring. It is a necessary means for ocean monitoring. The nodes in the network use sensors to monitor in real time and collect various monitoring information in the network distribution area. After information processing such as data fusion, the real-time monitoring information is sent to the surface base station through the underwater node with long-distance transmission capabilities, and then through the near Shore base stations or satellites deliver real-time information to users. However, in most ap...

Problems solved by technology

But the application of MIMO technology has been hindered

[0005] The nodes in the underwater acoustic sensor network are highly integrated and relatively small in size, which limits the capacity of the battery, and the complex and changeable underwater environment makes it impossible to replace the power supply frequently

However, MIMO technology requires multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver, which is impractical for small, energy-constrained underwater acoustic sensor network nodes
