Given the importance of the communication energy consumption of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle cooperative systems in practical work, this work optimizes the network topology to reduce total energy consumption. In accordance with the characteristics of underwater communication, the energy consumption of communication links is obtained, thereby obtaining the total communication energy consumption of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle cooperative systems. Taking the all-terminal reliability of the communication network as a constraint and the total energy consumption of network communication as the optimization goal, this work puts forward an optimization model for the communication network topology of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle cooperative systems. Furthermore, this work creatively describes the network topology optimization problem as a special path optimization problem suitable for the ant colony optimization algorithm presented to solve the optimization problem and shown to be effective and efficiency on this problem.
