  • Publication number: 20250031031
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device for reconstructing lost data of marine wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). The data reconstruction method includes following steps: establishing an initial topological structure of the MWSNs; using an improved hierarchical energy balance multipath (THEBM) routing protocol to cluster network nodes; using an improved radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to predict lost data of nodes in the cluster based on a clustering of the nodes; and using a centralized principal component analysis (PCA) method to compress and reconstruct data of a cluster head node in a process of data transmission from a cluster head to a ship base station.

  • Publication number: 20240422714
    Abstract: A node positioning method for marine environmental monitoring wireless sensor networks is provided, which jointly estimates node positions and path loss factors by considering the node real-time movement and the path loss and absorption effect of underwater communication; transforms an original non-convex problem into a non-negative constrained least squares framework, and finds the optimal solution of marine node positions by two stages of interior point method and block coordinate update. In the first stage, the problem is re-expressed by using the penalty function according to the interior point method to obtain the approximate solution; and in the second stage, the original problem is transformed into a generalized trust region sub-problem, and the approximate solution obtained by the interior point method is used as the initial estimation, the accurate estimation values of the marine node position and path loss factor are obtained by iterative solutions combined with the block coordinate update.
