The following detailed description of the specific implementation principles of the present invention is made with reference to the accompanying drawings:
as shown in fig. 1, the transmit model of the directional transducer used in the present invention is based on a multimode synthetic directional transducer. Compared with other types of underwater acoustic directional transducers, the multimode synthetic directional transducer has the advantages of small volume, wide main lobe, no side lobe and the like. And because the side lobe gain is large, the communication of other nodes cannot be interfered. A multimode synthetic directional transducer may excite a multimode beam mode. By giving different weights to beams of different modes, directivity is formed by weight combination. The expressions for different azimuths of radiation sound field are as follows:
Figure BDA0003247054850000061
where θ is the attitude, BnIs the n-ththWeight of individual mode, cos (n θ) being nthNormalized directivity function of each mode. After p (θ) is determined, the nth can be obtained by the following formulathWeight of individual modality:
Figure BDA0003247054850000062
therefore, the weight of each modality can be calculated according to p (theta), and directional transmission is realized.
And establishing a directional transducer receiving model based on the working principle of the vector hydrophone. Vector hydrophones measure three orthogonal components of particle velocity and sound pressure at a point in space simultaneously. For an acoustic signal propagating in a certain direction, the vibration speed of the acoustic signal is consistent with the arrival direction, so that the single-vector hydrophone can complete the direction estimation of the acoustic source. Generally, there are two methods for estimating the direction of arrival using the directivity of a single-vector hydrophone: an average intensity detector and a complex intensity detector. The direction finding errors of the two methods are as follows:
Figure BDA0003247054850000063
where M is 2BT, B denotes bandwidth, T denotes integration time,
Figure BDA0003247054850000064
Figure BDA0003247054850000065
which is indicative of the power of the signal,
Figure BDA0003247054850000066
representing the noise power.
The directional transducer model employed in the present invention is shown in fig. 1. The antenna consists of M equal-sized beams, and the transmission ranges of all the beams do not cover each other. Starting from the three o' clock position, the beams for transmission are numbered from 1 to M in sequence. The antenna may transmit and receive signals through any one of the M beams. Meanwhile, the node antenna can transmit data in an omnidirectional mode, and the transmission range is the same as that in a directional mode.
In the method, in a network initialization stage, a network node has already completed a discovery process of a neighbor node, and each node has a neighbor node information table which contains information such as position information of the neighbor node. The node can know the relative position of the neighbor node through the neighbor node information table. The neighbor node information table can be updated in real time according to the received information.
After the discovery process of the neighboring nodes is completed, the nodes in the network monitor the channel in an omnidirectional mode. Since in the previous neighbor node discovery process, the nodes in the network have already obtained the location information of the respective neighbor nodes. When the node is to send information, the sending node aims the antenna direction at the receiving node, and channel sensing is carried out in a directional mode. If the channel in that direction is idle, the transmitting node chooses to back off for a period of time. In the present invention, the transmitting node switches to the omni-directional mode to listen to the channel when it performs a backoff countdown. Unlike most medium access control methods, during this time, if a transmitting node listens to a signal, the node does not directly cancel the countdown, but first determines the direction of the signal and takes different measures depending on the direction of the signal. When the direction of the signal is different from the direction of the receiving node, the transmitting node continues to back off for the countdown. If the signal direction is the same as the receiving node, the transmitting node cancels the countdown.
In the invention, the communication between the network nodes adopts a classic four-way handshake mode. Different from the medium access control method based on the omnidirectional transmission technology, all information transmission processes in the invention adopt two modes of orientation and omnidirectional. The underwater acoustic channel is divided into two sub-channels: a data subchannel and a busy-tone subchannel, wherein the bandwidth of the busy-tone subchannel is substantially narrower than the bandwidth of the data subchannel. The data sub-channel is used to transport DRTS, DCTS, DDATA, and DACK signals, while the busy tone sub-channel only transports busy tone signals. The busy tone signal is a single frequency signal having a sufficient spectral interval. In the invention, in the network initialization stage, all nodes in the network are distributed with respective busy tone signal frequencies, and the busy tone signal frequencies of all the nodes are different. Any node knows the busy tone signal frequency of other nodes, and the node can determine the ID of the source node according to the received busy tone signal frequency and distinguish the problem of common collision or 'deafness' node through the received busy tone signal. When data transmission is complete (i.e., the transmitting node receives a DACK signal from the receiving node and the receiving node transmits the DACK signal), both the transmitting node and the receiving node switch the transducer to omni mode and transmit busy tone signals. When the busy tone signal is received by the neighboring node, the source node ID can be determined according to the signal frequency. If the source node of the busy tone signal is the same node as the destination node, it indicates that the adjacent node has encountered the deafness node problem before. The node exits the current back-off and sends an inquiry signal to the destination node. And if the source node and the destination node of the busy tone signal are not the same node, the previous collision is a common collision, and the node keeps retreating. The method can make the network node distinguish the common collision and the deafness node problem, thereby solving the deafness node problem.
It should be noted that, the node communication in the network of the present application adopts a four-way handshake manner, that is, DRTS-DCTS-DDATA-DACK, and the first letter D of each signal represents directional transmission; RTS is an abbreviation for Request To Send, which is the sending of a query signal; CTS is an abbreviation of Clear To Send, which is a Clear To Clear signal; DATA represents a DATA packet; ACK is an abbreviation of Acknowledge and is a packet reception success acknowledgement signal.
Referring to fig. 2 and 5, for a transmitting node, when the node has no data to transmit, the transmitting node listens to the channel. When a transmitting node has data to transmit, it first determines whether the channel is free. If the channel is busy, the node selects backoff; if the channel is idle, the transmitting node transmits a DRTS signal to the receiving node and sets a timer. If the transmitting node does not receive the DCTS signal transmitted by the receiving node, selecting backoff; if the transmitting node receives the DCTS signal sent by the receiving node, the DDATA signal is sent to the receiving node, and a timer is set. If the transmitting node receives the DACK signal sent by the receiving node, transmitting the busy tone signal in an omnidirectional mode; if the DACK signal sent by the receiving node is not received, the DDATA signal is sent to the receiving node again after the DACK signal is backed off for a period of time. After the DDATA signal is sent again, if the sending node receives the DACK signal, the busy tone signal is sent in an omnidirectional mode; if the DACK signal is not received, selecting back-off, and ending the data transmission process.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, for the receiving node, after receiving the DRTS sent by the sending node, the receiving node sends a DCTS signal to the sending node, and sets a timer. If the DDATA sent by the sending node is not received, selecting to back off; if DDATA from the sending node is received, a DACK signal is sent to the sending node. The busy tone signal is then transmitted in omni-directional mode.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, for the neighboring node, if the reply signal is not received, backoff is selected and the channel is sensed in an omnidirectional manner. Selecting back-off if the busy tone signal is not received; if the busy tone signal is received, the node can determine the source node ID according to the frequency of the busy tone signal. If the source node is the destination node, the problem that the data packet sent before meets the deafness node is shown, the adjacent node exits the backoff state and sends the data packet; if the source node is not the destination node, the node has previously encountered a normal collision and the node continues to remain in the backoff state.
Fig. 6 shows the network throughput curves of the network under different transmission rates, where 40 nodes are randomly distributed in the network under two coverage ranges of 5km × 5km and 8km × 8km, and an omnidirectional MACA protocol and a directional D-MAC protocol are selected as reference groups. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the throughput performance of the medium access control method provided by the present application is far better than that of the MACA protocol and the D-MAC protocol. This is because the use of directional antennas in the proposed method can significantly reduce packet collisions and increase spatial multiplexing compared to the MACA protocol. In contrast to the D-MAC protocol, the DF-MAC protocol divides the underwater acoustic channel into a data transmission sub-channel and a busy tone sub-channel. By sending busy tone signals, the adjacent nodes can distinguish the collision types, different measures are taken aiming at the problems of common data packet collision and 'deafness' nodes, unnecessary back-off time is reduced, network efficiency is improved, and network throughput is improved.
In summary, compared with the prior art, the invention provides a medium access control method for avoiding the deafness node problem of the directional underwater acoustic communication network. In the method, the nodes have two communication modes: omnidirectional and directional. The underwater acoustic channel is divided into two sub-channels, wherein one sub-channel is specially used for sending busy tone signals, so that the network node can distinguish the types of encountered collisions, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:
a. the directional information transmission mode is applied to the underwater sound communication network, and compared with the omnidirectional underwater sound communication network, the underwater sound communication network has the advantages that the network coverage can be improved, and the communication concealment is enhanced.
b. Through the dual-channel division, the data packet collision type can be identified, and the deafness node problem can be solved.
c. And the data packet collision is reduced, and the throughput of the underwater acoustic communication network can be improved.
