Path selection through a three-stage switching network using neural networks
- Date Issued:
- 1991
- Summary:
- Several neural network applications solving practical problems in communications are presented. A neural network algorithm to select paths through a three stage switching network is developed. An analysis of the dynamics of the neural network and a convergence proof are provided. With the help of computer simulations, a four dimensional region for the valid combinations of the neural network parameters was discovered. An analysis is performed to determine the characteristics of this region. The behavior of the neural network algorithm for different switching network configurations and varying traffic patterns were investigated. The effect of initial state of the neural network and heuristic improvements to the algorithm is provided. A comparative analysis of the neural network path selection algorithm against a sequential search method is also given.
