Modified Ant Colony Optimization to Improve Energy Consumption of Cruiser Boundary Tour with Internet of Underwater Things
Open Access
Abstract
The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) holds significant promise for developing a smart ocean. In recent years, there has been swift progress in data collection methods using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) within underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs). One of the key challenges in the IoUT is improving both the energy consumption (EC) of underwater vehicles and the value of information (VoI) necessary for completing missions while gathering sensing data. In this paper, a hybrid optimization technique is proposed based on boundary tour modified ant colony optimization (BTMACO). The proposed optimization algorithm was developed to solve the challenging problem of determining the optimal path of an AUV visiting all sensor nodes with minimum energy consumption. The optimization algorithm specifies the best order in which to visit all the sensor nodes, while it also works to adjust the AUV’s information-gathering locations according to the permissible data transmission range. Compared with the related works in the literature, the proposed method showed better performance, and it can find the best route through which to collect sensor information with minimum power consumption and a 6.9% better VoI.Keywords
