    abstract     = {Summary: The study on the relation between the communication performance and node distributed density in Underwater Sensor Networks (USN) is presented. The method combines the models of transmitting loss and ray of underwater acoustics to deduce the relationship between communication performance and node distributed density in USN. Moreover, the conclusion is simulated by Monte Carlo methods. By the result of simulation, the communication ability of underwater network can be forecasted on the given node deployment, furthermore the optimum net density will be found with the constraint of the given communication ability of underwater network, which affords benefit for the topology and node deployment based on the communication performance in underwater sensor networks.},
