METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DYNAMICAL PROTOCOL SELECTION

The method of the invention envisages estimation and learning of the state of the system using the data traffic of the network itself, with co-ordination of a node, selected as collector, which, in addition to its normal data-collection role, determines and changes dynamically the network-protocol stack used, for optimizing the performance of interest, where for this purpose said node, with a processing unit thereof, implements a computer program referred to as "protocol selector", which: executes monitoring of the network state and collection of the data on the performance of the network itself; evaluates at periodic intervals the performance of the protocol in the last interval and executes a step of a reinforcement-learning algorithm at the end of which it evaluates whether to change or not the protocol for the next interval and resumes the main execution flow.
