Abstract

Underwater Acoustic Networks (UWANs) are widely used in oceanographic engineering. Localization is a major issue for UWANs. UWANs have some special characteristics that are different from terrestrial networks, such as acoustic communication, the inconvenience of using GPS and a small number of anchors (nodes which know their coordinates). Due to these problems, we propose a double rate positioning scheme (DRP) which can get high positioning accuracy with only one anchor. In this paper, based on a DRP algorithm, a set of experiments has been done. Experimental results are in accordance with simulation results and demonstrate the effectiveness, reliability and performance advantages of the DRP scheme. In comparison with MDS-MAP algorithm, DRP has a higher positioning accuracy in the same network.
