An Evolvable Multi-Agent Approach to Satellite Communication Systems

چکیده
This paper presents a model of a satellite communication system using evolving multi-agent architecture. Situations such as satellite communications link analysis and resource allocation, require dynamical making and breaking of links between communication nodes, and would highly benefit from increased on-board adaptability and autonomy. An evolvable architecture based on intelligent agents that communicate and cooperate with each other may offer advantages in this direction. The paper presents some problems to be addressed, a model of an evolvable system based on knowledgebased agents (software or softwarehardware hybrids), and some elementary hardware building blocks that can be used to implement such a system.

متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
متن کاملJointly power and bandwidth allocation for a heterogeneous satellite network
Due to lack of resources such as transmission power and bandwidth in satellite systems, resource allocation problem is a very important challenge. Nowadays, new heterogeneous network includes one or more satellites besides terrestrial infrastructure, so that it is considered that each satellite has multi-beam to increase capacity. This type of structure is suitable for a new generation of commu...
متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملAn Evolvable Multi-Agent Approach to Space Operations Engineering
A complex system of spacecraft and ground tracking stations, as well as a constellation of satellites or spacecraft, has to be able to reliably withstand sudden environment changes, resource fluctuations, dynamic resource configuration, limited communication bandwidth, etc., while maintaining the consistency of the system as a whole. It is not known in advance when a change in the environment m...
