Research on optimum cooperative relay model for moving targets based on ant colony algorithm

The quantity of maritime communication ships increases gradually, which brought the problem of communication path selection. This paper presents the Optimum Cooperative Relay Model for Moving Targets Based on Ant Colony Algorithm, the model provides the communication path of the fewest routing times to the moving ships that are far apart, which has reduced the space link resources consumption. Compared with the model of maximum range that has been raised, this model has increased the probability of getting optimal routing. Simulation experiments confirmed that the model is able to provide the optimal communication path for ships in the sea areas.
