A Swarm Intelligence Networking Framework for Small Satellite Systems

Abstract

Recent development of technologies and methodologies on distributed spacecraft systems enable the small satellite network systems by supporting integrated navigation, communications and control tasks. The distributed sensing data can be communicated and processed autonomously among the network systems. Due to the size, density and dynamic factors of small satellite networks, the traditional network communication framework is not well suited for distributed small satellites. The paper proposes a novel swarm intelligence based networking framework by using Ant colony optimization. The proposed network framework enables self-adaptive routing, communications and network reconstructions among small satellites. The simulation results show our framework is suitable for dynamic factors in distributed small satellite systems. The proposed schemes are adaptive and scalable to network topology and achieve good performance in different network scenarios.

Research on Resource Allocation and Optimization of Community Intelligent Sports Service for the Elderly Based on Group Intelligence

“…Therefore, the optimized particle swarm optimizer has great advantages in solving constraint satisfaction problems like n queen problem. It is not only a theoretical problem, but also an excellent solution to practical problems [ 6 ]. According to the ant colony optimization technology in swarm intelligence, a network framework suitable for the performance factors of small satellites can be constructed.…”

Revisión de sistemas de control en red como base para sistemas satelitales de pequeña escala

“…Se han generado propuestas para interconexión de satélites pequeños, como es el caso de la optimización por colonia de hormigas (ACO), con la cual se plantea el manejo de sistemas de satélites distribuidos, basada en enjambres inteligentes que se adaptan para intercomunicarse y reconfigurarse dentro de la red requerida (Chen y Zeng, 2013).…”
