Abstract
In Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs), the location information of sensor nodes is essential for making the measured data meaningful. However, UWSNs have a complex node deployment environment. Node mobility caused by ocean currents and other factors would lead to a bigger ranging error and make some nodes cannot receive enough data packets. In this paper, a Localization algorithm based on a Single Mobile Beacon (LSMB) is proposed. LSMB makes use of the attenuation law of signal strength and the geometric relationship between a sensor node and the path of the mobile beacon, reducing the impact of random error on distance measurement. On this basis, by analyzing the overall movement trends of sensor nodes, this paper analyzes and studies the counter-current movement and downstream movement of the mobile beacon respectively, so as to make LSMB suitable for dynamic marine environment. The simulation shows that the algorithm reduces the impact of node mobility on localization and has small average localization error.
