A clustering algorithm applied to the satellite networks management

Abstract

As a new type network, the properties of satellite networks are unique comparing with other computer networks and make traditional network management into trouble. Recently, the network management on satellite networks has been on the initial stage and more accurate assumption is not defined. A new clustering algorithm based on graph with the token mechanism and node weights applied to hierarchical satellite networks management is proposed. The unidirectional links and independence of space satellite clustering were considered specially. The algorithm suggests a new idea to the satellite networks management.
