Abstract

A method of designing an interplanetary communications network with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) at each node. Object functions are generated that relate network characteristics and performance. Each object function is driven to an extreme (min or max) to provide an optimum network configuration. The optimum network configuration includes the number of nodes and the number of antennas for each node, node placement, specific node storage capacity and communications capacity for nodes and for links between nodes.
