The marine Internet technology has been proposed to exploit abundant communication and network resources available in the ocean in order to provide more cost-effective and handy network services therein. Basically, the marine Internet architecture is based on heterogeneous large-scale dynamic wireless, which consists of different types of networks such as satellite networks, coastline networks, and ship ad-hoc networks etc. These networks are different in terms of networking cost, capacity, and performance as well as availability and reliability. This imposes challenges for network selection, especially when there is no guarantee on the availability and reliability of network resources in oceans, which is different from network selection in terrestrial environments. Thus, this paper studies a network selection scheme by jointly considering the above uncertainty of network resources based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for marine Internet. The proposed scheme is evaluated through a simulation study on the EXata platform, in comparison with the Simple Additive Weighting and the Multiplicative Exponent Weighting schemes. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme yield better performance.

基于层次分析法的海洋互联网网络选择方案

已经提出了海洋互联网技术来利用海洋中可用的丰富的通信和网络资源，以便在海洋中提供更具成本效益和方便的网络服务。基本上，海洋互联网架构基于异构的大规模动态无线网络，它由不同类型的网络组成，例如卫星网络，海岸线网络和船舶自组织网络等。这些网络在网络成本，容量方面有所不同。 ，以及性能，可用性和可靠性。这给网络选择带来了挑战，尤其是当无法保证海洋中网络资源的可用性和可靠性时，这与陆地环境中的网络选择不同。因此，本文基于海洋互联网的层次分析法，结合网络资源的上述不确定性，研究了一种网络选择方案。与简单加法加权和乘法指数加权方案相比，通过EXata平台上的仿真研究对提出的方案进行了评估。仿真结果表明，该方案具有较好的性能。
