摘要

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) face significant challenges in accurate node localization due to Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) conditions caused by multipath propagation, signal attenuation, and environmental factors. In order to solve these issues, this paper proposes a hybrid deep learning framework which integrates CNN, and LSTM networks. This system is able to identify if it is in NLOS or Line of sight condition, it is capable of classifying the type of NLOS it is experiencing, and is able to correct localization errors, all in a single pipeline. The model outperforms existing methods, as shown by experimental results, achieving 92–95% of accuracy and 0.92 \(-\) - 0.95 of F1-score, while also being robust in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios (65–70% of accuracy on 0–5dB). It also achieves 8–10% better performance than the baseline in SNR levels on the mid-range, between 7.5 and 12.5 dB. The hybrid architecture is also more energy efficient, with 15–30% lower energy use without sacrificing real-time processing, with inferencing times around 15–20 ms. These findings show the flexibility of this framework in a dynamic underwater environment and its potential for being a solution for UWSN localization.
