An onboard ATM switching fabric based on Adaptive Ant Colony Algorithm

In this paper, based on adaptive ant colony algorithm, we propose an onboard ATM switching fabric in satellite ATM system. We introduce an improved Benes network based on ants flooding mechanism and adaptive dynamic routing mechanism to solve bandwidth-limited and delay-bounded problems in satellite communication network. Compared with traditional self-routing Benes network, better performances of proposed onboard ATM switching fabric are achieved.
