Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments of the invention, a method for autonomous deployment of a heterogeneous underwater acoustic sensor network comprises:
s100, acquiring an underwater task area;
s200, deploying an USV group on water, wherein the coverage area of the USV group comprises the range of an underwater task area; wherein the group of USVs comprises at least one USV;
in the embodiment, the USV group is used as the overwater base station, and the accurate positioning of the USV group is realized by receiving the GPS signal; and adopting an AUV group as an underwater relay base station (namely a network node). The USV group obtains rough position information of each AUV by transmitting low-frequency sound wave signals to the underwater, and the AUV accurately positions the adjacent AUVs by using high-frequency sonars transmitted by the AUV according to the rough position information of the adjacent AUVs given by the USV; according to the requirements of practical application, the overwater base station autonomously determines which adjacent AUVs are converted into relay base stations, and then autonomous layout of the underwater acoustic sensor network is completed, so that real-time and high-precision detection of the underwater stealth small target is realized;
step S300, determining an AUV group communicated with the USV by any USV in the USV group; when the AUV groups are grouped, only one AUV is converted into a network node;
step S400, the USV converts one AUV meeting the node deployment requirement in the AUV group into a current network node;
it should be noted that, when an AUV group is grouped, only one AUV is configured as a base station mode and is converted into a network node;
step S500, the USV determines whether the number of network nodes in the coverage area of the USV group is smaller than a set network node threshold value; the set network node threshold is the total number of AUVs in the coverage range of the USV group, and the total number of AUVs in the coverage range of the USV group is set according to actual application;
it should be noted that the set network node threshold is the number of AUVs in the coverage area of the USV group, and finally all the AUVs put in can be converted into network nodes;
if yes, go to step S600; if not, executing step S700;
step S600, the AUV determines a corresponding adjacent AUV and converts the adjacent AUV into a current network node; executing step S500;
and S700, when AUVs in the coverage range of the USV group are all converted into network nodes, the sensor network is autonomously deployed and completes and executes work.
It should be noted that the network node is a sensor network node, and a plurality of sensor network nodes form a sensor network; the coverage range of the USV group is the sum of the ranges monitored by all the USVs included in the USV group; the AUV in step S600 is an AUV serving as a current network node;
in the autonomous deployment process, firstly, the USV configures an AUV into a base station mode, and deploys the AUV into a network node; the network node configures the corresponding adjacent AUV into a base station mode, and so on until the complete deployment of the AUV is realized; the AUVs are configured in a one-transmission-one-retransmission-multiple mode, when all AUVs are configured in a base station mode and are converted into network nodes, information communication is automatically carried out among the network nodes, the deployment of the sensor network is completed, all intelligent agents (including the USV and the AUV) can cooperate with one another, autonomous cooperative deployment can be carried out, and the deployment efficiency is improved;
it should be noted that the USV group includes at least one USV, and the AUV group includes at least one AUV; AUV groups are automatically grouped according to the condition of the barrier, so that the adjacent intelligent agents (including USV and AUV) cannot be shielded by the barrier;
in some embodiments of the present invention, in step S400, the USV converting an AUV in the AUV group that meets the node deployment requirement into a current network node includes:
the USV searches the AUV group for a corresponding adjacent AUV; wherein, the adjacent AUV corresponding to the USV meets the following requirements of all node deployment: the distance between the adjacent AUV and the USV is a first relay distance, and the first relay distance is inversely related to the set monitoring precision and the pressure value borne by the adjacent AUV corresponding to the USV; no obstacle is required to block between the adjacent AUV and the USV;
the USV stops searching, and converts the corresponding adjacent AUV obtained by searching into the current network node; wherein, the relative position of the USV and the adjacent AUV which is converted into the current network node and corresponds to the USV is unchanged;
it should be noted that, after the AUV is configured in the base station mode and becomes a network node, the position of the AUV may change due to the fluctuation of the seawater, and in order to maintain the stability of the network, the AUV may move to the position configured in the base station mode by itself, and control the movement by itself to maintain the stability of the network.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S600, the AUV determining its corresponding neighboring AUV, and converting the neighboring AUV into the current network node includes:
the AUV searches for its corresponding neighboring AUV; wherein, the adjacent AUV corresponding to the AUV satisfies all the following conditions: the distance between the AUV and the adjacent AUV is a second relay distance, and the second relay distance is inversely related to the set monitoring precision and the pressure value borne by the adjacent AUV corresponding to the AUV; the AUV and the adjacent AUV are not blocked by obstacles;
the AUV stops searching and converts all corresponding adjacent AUVs obtained by searching into current network nodes;
wherein the relative position of the AUV and all corresponding neighboring AUVs converted into the current network node is unchanged;
it should be noted that, as long as the AUV searches for an AUV meeting the conditions within its own search range, all AUVs meeting the conditions are configured into a base station mode and converted into network nodes, regardless of the number;
it should be noted that, since the greater the depth, the greater the pressure value borne, the greater the second relay distance is greater than the first relay distance;
the relay distance comprises a first relay distance and a second relay distance; acquiring a relay distance in real time according to the environment of the AUV and the set monitoring precision;
the underwater turbulence can disturb signal transmission, and the larger the flow rate is, the larger the pressure of the AUV is, and the larger the interference on the signal is. In an area with large environmental interference, monitoring accuracy is improved during setting, nodes need to be deployed for multiple times, relay distance is shortened, and accuracy of a calculation result is improved through more data;
the larger the pressure value born by the AUV is, the smaller the relay distance is; the larger the set monitoring accuracy, the smaller the relay distance.
In some embodiments of the invention, the AUV navigates autonomously before it is converted into a network node; the calculation formula of the navigation speed of an AUV is as follows:
Figure 930137DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
wherein the content of the first and second substances,

it should be noted that the velocity calculation formulas of different AUVs are the same, but the initial population velocity, the repulsion velocity and the viscous velocity are different due to different ambient environmental conditions, so that the velocities are different;
it should be further noted that the repulsion velocity and the viscous velocity are obtained by detecting and evaluating the ambient environment by the AUV, and both the repulsion velocity and the viscous velocity belong to relative velocities; the initial group speed is the initial speed set by the AUV group;
