Ant Routing Concepts for Dynamic Meshed Satellite Constellations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose ant routing as a powerful means to enhance communications in meshed regular and irregular satellite constellations. Ant routing resembles basic mechanisms from distributed swarm intelligence in biological systems, and turns out to become an appealing solution when routing becomes a crucial problem in a complex network scenario, where traditional (deterministic) techniques either fail completely or at least face intractable complexity. The principle is to divide forwarding of information elements (packets) from the pure routing and to let ant routing operate to gather routing information, while other techniques, such as MPLS, might be used for forwarding.

متن کاملA Hybrid Dynamic Programming for Inventory Routing Problem in Collaborative Reverse Supply Chains
Inventory routing problems arise as simultaneous decisions in inventory and routing optimization. In the present study, vendor managed inventory is proposed as a collaborative model for reverse supply chains and the optimization problem is modeled in terms of an inventory routing problem. The studied reverse supply chains include several return generators and recovery centers and one collection...
متن کاملInternet Routing over LEO Satellite Constellations
Satellite constellations ooer interesting perspectives for Internet traac routing, since they beneet from a worldwide coverage and do not have the main drawback of geosynchronous satellites : propagation delay. However, because of their low altitude, LEO satellites are in constant motion and exhibit speciic issues for routing. This article presents a general architecture applicable to the integ...
متن کاملCross-Entropy Guided Ant-Like Agents Finding Cyclic Paths in Scarcely Meshed Networks
Finding paths in networks is a well exercised activity both in theory and practice but still remains a challenge when the search domain is a dynamic communication network environment with changing traffic patterns and network topology. To enforce dependability in such network environments new routing techniques are called upon. In this paper we describe a distributed algorithm capable of findin...
متن کاملOptimal routing in non-geostationary satellite ATM networks with intersatellite link capacity constraints
The trend toward broadband communications in space is foreseeable, and its features predestine ATM as the basic mode of operation. Some of the low and medium earth orbit satellite concepts make use of intersatellite links (ISLs) to provide global connectivity with minimal usage of terrestrial fixed network resources. Interconnecting neighbouring satellites with ISLs results in a partially meshe...
