Research on multi-layer network topology optimization strategy for railway internet of things based on game theory benefits
Abstract
In the railway system environment, the interconnection of a vast array of intelligent sensing devices has brought about revolutionary changes in the management and monitoring of railway transportation. However, this also poses challenges to the communication service quality within the railway Internet of Things (IoT). Through collective intelligence and collaboration, the nodes within the railway IoT can not only share data and information but also work synergistically to enhance the overall intelligence level and improve decision-making quality of the network. Therefore, this paper proposes a reconnection mechanism based on the computation of node game-theoretic benefits and optimizes this process with the concept of swarm intelligence collaboration. Initially, the game-theoretic benefit values of the nodes in the railway IoT network are calculated. Subsequently, based on the weight priority of the edges, the two edges with the larger weights are selected, and connections are established between nodes with similar game-theoretic benefit values to enhance the network’s robustness. This approach enables rapid networking and efficient communication transmission within the railway IoT, providing robust assurance for the safe and stable operation of the railway.
