Optimal Path Design of Underwater Acoustic Network Based on RAP

Abstract

Reliable Acoustic Path (RAP) is one of the special physical phenomenon in the deep ocean sound propagation, in a certain extent, it can reflect the deep-ocean sound propagation characteristics. In this paper, the sound propagation characteristics in RAP are analyzed, and the transmission loss is calculated by Bellhop acoustic software, which is used to determine if the network nodes can connect. In this article, with the dynamic grid planning algorithm, the node layout scheme for the optimal path in deep-ocean underwater acoustic network based on the deep-ocean underwater acoustic network node.
