Improved AODV-Based Local Recovery Mechanism in Multiple AUVs System

This paper focuses on the recovery mechanism in AUVs system based on AODV protocol. The given mechanism is based on the theory that “hello” message which is used in the route maintenance. Firstly, the local recovery which constrains the TTL works when link is broken. Then, in order to balance the energy consumption and response time, the idea of “slow start” in TCP/IP is introduced into the recovery algorithm which is used in retreated recovery in the route hops. The experiment results show our method can reduce the energy consumption in the same requirement on response time.
