METHOD FOR ORGANIZING THE TOPOLOGY OF A NETWORK WITH A MULTIPLICITY OF STATIONS GROUPED IN CLUSTERS

摘要

A method for organizing the topology of a network with a multiplicity of stations grouped in clusters, with the following steps: provision of a system of rules that define the arrangement of stations in clusters; classification of the stations into one or more categories in accordance with the rules and - - - arrangement of the stations in clusters on the basis of this classification; determination of changes affecting the topology of the network; adaptation, taking account of the rules, of at least the arrangement of the stations in the clusters on the basis of the changes; is characterized in that: a multiplicity of permitted topology changes of the network are pre-defined; at least one of the input variables for the rules is coded by fuzzy logic, dual logic or other logic; and at least one of the rules generates at least one output variable from coded input variables as a function of the changes affecting the topology of the network; each of said output variables being a decision variable for a permitted network topology change to be.
