Sumario:Underwater sensor networks [Formula: see text] based barrier coverage is increasingly important for intrusion detection due to the scarcity of underwater sensor resource. To improve UWSNs’ detection performance and prolong their lifetime, an efficient barrier coverage strategy is very important. In this paper, a novel concept: hierarchy graph is proposed. Hierarchy graph can make the network’s topology more clarity. In accordance with the hierarchy graph, 1-barrier coverage algorithm and k-barrier coverage algorithm are presented to construct the barrier with less sensors for higher energy efficiency. Both analytical and simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can provide high detection probability and long lifetime for UWSNs.
