Abstract

Collaborative networks of miniaturized satellite nodes demand new comprehensive and efficient distributed algorithms and protocols. The mobile nature of these nodes requires that these algorithms and protocols must be adaptive to ceaseless topology changes. This paper proposes an adaptive decision making function and weight factor targeting a highly efficient algorithm for distributed nodes. The new emerging algorithm aims to solve the above deployment problem. Other research work inspired by classical dynamics that study the movement of objects, called virtual force algorithm, is compared to the new algorithm in the paper. Our results demonstrate that the deployment algorithm using Decision Making function and distributed nodes' Weight Factor provide much more efficiency and savings in mobility energy than the existing algorithms.
