Biologically Inspired, Self Organizing Communication Networks

Abstract-The rapid exploitation of communication networks in progressively more aspects and their associated complexity have critically driven the desire for autonomic self-organized capabilities to provide scalable adaptive, resilient and emergent behaviour to maintain their operational capability in dynamic situations. The principles of achieving autonomic capabilities are inspired from biological and ecological systems. In this paper, biological behaviour such as migration, replication and death as well as the differentiation and specialization of zygote formation are applied to the communication networks to produce an autonomic self-organizing network architecture.
