Abstract
In this paper, a dynamic architecture is presented for underwater sensor networks based on the physical clustering and intra-cluster autonomy according to the traditional logical clustering theory. In this architecture, the cluster headers eliminate the negative effects of the current and improve the stability of the underwater sensor networks by drawing cluster nodes to do circular motion through cluster cables. This wired communication inside cluster and wireless communication among clusters improve the speed of the data transmission and delivering. On the other hand, in order to solve energy-intensive problem, an energy harvesting technology is considered to provide nodes with sustainable energy. This dynamic underwater sensor network architecture provides a basic model to study the high-performance and reusable underwater sensor networks.
