NEURAL NETWORK-BASED NODE MOBILITY AND NETWORK CONNECTIVTY PREDICTIONS FOR MOBILE AD HOC RADIO NETWORKS

摘要

A self managed ad hoc communications network nodes and node mobility management. Nodes include an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that determines connection to other network nodes. The ANN may use free space propagation link life estimation, inverse modeling for partition prediction, Stochastic Approximation, and/or coarse estimation. The node includes storage storing network tables and matrices indicating network connectivity and connection to other nodes. Also, a wireless communications unit provides for wireless communicating with other nodes.
