Distributed Adaptability and Mobility in Space Based Wireless Pico-Satellite Sensor Networks

Collaborative working manner of individual satellite nodes demand totally distributed algorithms and protocols. The mobile nature of these nodes requires that these algorithms and protocols must be adaptive to the ceaseless topology changes. This paper proposes an adaptive decision making function and weight factor in a highly efficient algorithm for the distributed nodes, which helps solving the deployment problem. In this paper, other research inspired by classical dynamics that study the movement of objects, called virtual force algorithm, is compared to our algorithm. Obtained results show that our deployment algorithm using Decision Making function and distributed nodespsila Weight Factor save much more mobility energy than the existing algorithms.
