Abstract

A quantified accuracy measurement based AUV localization algorithm which employs cooperation among multiple AUVs is proposed. With cooperative communication, AUVs with high location accuracies can help to improve the localization accuracy of AUVs with currently low location accuracies. The average updating time via GPS and deviation distance are measured. Simulation results show that the proposed localization algorithm improves the localization accuracy and reducing the location updating frequency for AUVs. Besides, it helps to prolong the AUV lifetime.
