□ Cognitive Packet
Network (CPN)
Ø
ØPacket routing protocol
which addresses QoS using adaptive techniques based on on-line
measurements.
ØThe users declare their
QoS requirements (QoS Goals) such as minimum delay, maximum bandwidth,
minimum cost, etc.
ØThree types of packets:
vsmart packets (SP) for
discovery,
vsource routed dumb packets
(DP) to carry payload, and
vacknowledgements (ACK) to
bring back information that has been discovered by SPs which are used in
nodes to train neural networks.
ØSPs discover routes by
using random neural networks (RNN) with reinforcement learning
(RL).
ØAll packets have a
life-time constraint based on the number of nodes visited, to avoid
overburdening the system with unsuccessful requests or packets which are in
effect lost.
ØA node in the CPN acts as
a storage area for packets and mailboxes (MBs). It also stores and
executes the code used to route smart packets.
