中文摘要：

针对水声传感器网络数据传输效率低、能量消耗大的问题,提出一种基于相关性感知的路由协议。该协议根据路由过程中数据的相关性进行数据融合以减少通信量。通过平衡各节点的能量消耗,避免某些节点过早地耗尽能量而影响整个网络的生命周期。仿真结果表明,该路由协议可以在提高数据包传送率的同时,有效降低网络能量消耗。

英文摘要：

Considering the unique characteristics of low data transfer rate and high energy consumption in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network（UWASN）,this paper presents a routing protocol based on correlation-aware in UWASN.It merges data according to their correlation during the process of routing for reducing communication and network energy consumption.Moreover,this protocol can also balance energy consumption of varies nodes in case some nodes exhaust their energy.Simulation results show that the protocol achieves relatively high packet transmit rate with low energy consumption.
