Abstract

The invention provides an underwater multi-agent-oriented Q learning ant colony routing method, which is combined with reinforcement learning and ant colony algorithm to adapt to and learn characteristics of a dynamic underwater environment, and comprises the following steps of: a routing discovery stage, a routing maintenance stage and a routing hole processing mechanism. Pheromones in the ant colony algorithm are mapped into a Q value in Q learning. The delay and bandwidth of links and the residual energy and throughput of nodes are comprehensively considered as a Q value function to selecta next hop link. A routing protocol also realizes a hole sensing mechanism. ACK return time is recorded through node timing broadcast and a timer. Whether the nodes are in a routing holes are judged,and the network is prevented from using the nodes in the hole through a penalty function of Q learning. The energy and depth of the nodes and the link stability are considered, the end-to-end delay ofthe nodes is reduced through Q learning, the data delivery rate is increased, and the service life of the underwater wireless sensor network is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of routing protocols for underwater sensor networks, in particular to a routing protocol for underwater sensor networks based on Q-learning and clustering algorithms. Background technique [0002] Despite the strategic importance of ocean exploration and development, only 5% of the ocean has ever been explored. This is partly due to the fact that ocean hydroacoustic channels are very different from wireless channels over water. Therefore, the wireless routing algorithm on land cannot be directly applied to underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), it must be modified to be used in underwater situations. [0003] Compared with terrestrial wireless sensor networks, underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) face the following challenges: [0004] (1) High delay caused by sound as a signal propagation medium. Due to the serious attenuation of electromagnetic wave signals under water, it can only be used for short-distance transmiss...
