Bio-inspired Resource Allocation for Multi-hop Networks

Recently, researches on resource allocation algorithms operating in a distributed way are widely conducted because of the increasing number of network nodes and the rapidly changing the network environment. In this paper, we propose new biologically inspired TDMA-based resource allocation scheme operating in a distributed manner in multi-hop networks. In this paper, we define a frame structure for the proposed algorithm and firing message structure which is a reference for resource allocation and propose the related operating procedures. Through simulation evaluations, it is shown that proposed algorithm works well in multi-hop networks.
