Abstract

Three-dimensional Under-Water Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWASN) are supposed to be deployed for many applications. However, a protocol for sensors' self-localization and time-synchronization in UWASN remains a challenge problem. In this paper, we developed a multilateration algorithm which could reliably localize and synchronize underwater sensor networks by acoustic ranging. To our best knowledge, this is the first scheme which could achieve both them for 3D UWASN simultaneously. Simulation results are also given to illustrate its effectiveness.
