ABSTRACT:
A communications system utilizes artificial intelligence to select connectivity paths among various locations in a communications network. An embodiment shown is that of a packet radio network, wherein an artificial intelligence module, located at one or more of the radio sites in the network, applies a set of heuristic rules to a knowledge base obtained from network experience to select connectivity paths through the network. The artificial intelligence module comprises an inference engine, a memory for storing network data obtained from a radio receiver and transmitting it to the inference engine, a memory connected to the inference engine which stores a set of heuristic rules for the artificial intelligence system, and a knowledge base memory which stores network information upon which the inference engine draws. The knowledge base memory is also capable of feeding back network information to the rule base memory, which can thus update its rules. Also shown is an embodiment of a multimedia communications network.
