| Abstract | The local minima has been deemed as a challenging issue when designing routing protocols for 3D underwater sensor networks. Recently, harmonic potential field method has been used to tackle the issue of local minima which was also a major bottleneck in path planning and obstacle avoidance of robotics community. Inspired by this, this paper proposes a harmonic potential field based routing protocol for 3D underwater sensor networks with local minima. More specifically, the harmonic potential field is calculated using harmonic functions and Dirichlet boundary conditions are used for the local minima, sink(or seabuoy) and sending node. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol. |
