Abstract

Bit communication in swarm agents is a communication process of transmitting data within a specific area. The data must be delivered to all agents in the area where such a communication process takes place and this process is also closely related to broadcasting through bitcommunication as a way to spread out the data among all agents in the area. This research field needs an in-depth study of the behaviour of homogeneous agents by modelling and analysis of the reversing and non-reversing approaches. It also includes the investigation of the characteristic of data sender and receiver for random process of swarm. In this project, the swarm intelligence technique, which is useful for the bit-communication behaviour has been implemented. There are two approaches used for the transmitting and receiving process. In the reverse approach, the data can be sent back to the sender in the next cycle; when the agent randomly selects one-of its neighbours to transmit the data, while in the non-reversing approach, the data cannot be retransmitted back to the sender in the next cycle. The latter approach is shown to increase the system performance and efficiency up to 12%. By enhancing the number of bit used in bit-communication, the performance has a close approximation to cue based communication, which is an equivalent of the natural behaviour like the bees protecting their nest. As the conclusion, the bit-communication at higher bit order process can be used to produce a model like the cue based communication.
