The application relates to an implementation method of a heat value-oriented
underwater acoustic positioning-free routing method for cavity avoidance, and relates to
underwater communication. The method utilizes the
heat transfer law in nature, constructs a virtual heat field in an
underwater acoustic sensor network, and realizes efficient guidance and stable forwarding of underwater acoustic data packets. A corresponding heat value variable is generated by fusing node hop number, node
residual energy and node depth, a converging node located on the water surface is taken as a network heat source, heat value signaling packets are periodically broadcasted, and a dynamic self-adaptive virtual heat field is constructed; after each node receives the heat value signaling packets, the heat value of the node is updated, and the node is adapted to topological changes. When data is forwarded, a neighbor node with the highest heat value is selected as a
relay node, a concurrent mechanism is adopted for efficient forwarding, and energy utilization efficiency and topological adaptability are improved. The virtual heat field can provide stable and adjustable multi-path guidance capability. In an underwater acoustic environment with sparse nodes or unstable topology, the heat value-driven data forwarding strategy can effectively avoid cavities, and the robustness of underwater acoustic routing and the
connectivity of the
underwater acoustic network are improved.
