Abstract

The Underwater Internet of Things (IoUT) shows great potential in enabling a smart ocean. Underwater sensor network (UWSN) is the main form of IoUT, but it faces the problem of reliable data transmission. To address these issues, this paper considers the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) as mobile collectors to build a reliable dynamic data collection system, while using Value of Information (VoI) as a primary metric to measure data quality. This paper first builds a realistic model to characterize the behavior of AUV and sensor nodes and challenging environments. Then a method based on deep reinforcement learning is used to dynamically plan the AUV's navigation route by jointly considering the location of nodes, the value of node data information and the state of AUV, with the goal of maximizing the data collection efficiency of AUV. The simulation results show that the dynamic data collection scheme is superior to the traditional path planning scheme which only considers the node location, and can greatly improve the efficiency of AUV data collection.
