Abstract

Subsea pipelines are very susceptible to encounter failure. One novel method based on underwater acoustic network (UAN) is proposed to monitor free span of subsea pipeline. It considers the characteristics of shallow water and complex response of subsea pipeline, defines the principle of parallel cooperative transmitting of data package and the scheme of cross layer design that take into physical layer, data link layer and network layer. The method, shown by simulation, can achieve good performance of throughput and energy consumption which exists minimum and can enhance lifespan of equipment and meanwhile reduce the cost of monitoring.
