A mechanism of topology optimization for underwater acoustic sensor networks based on autonomous underwater vehicles

Limited energy, high mobility, and unsteady acoustic communication links render the underwater acoustic sensor networks subject to performance reduction. To solve this problem, a topology optimization method, also called TO-A algorithm, is developed based on topology reconfiguration. First, the prop...
