Multifactorial optimization system and method
First Claim
1. A wireless network node of a wireless network, comprising:
- (a) an antenna system, configured to;
communicate through a communication channel, having a directional radiation pattern with an alterable directional vector having at least a first state and a second state which differ in at least the alterable directional vector and corresponding spatial characteristics, and(b) an automated controller, configured to;
(i) conduct an automated negotiation with a remote wireless communication device, which employs game theoretic decision-making to self-organize the wireless network, by communications through the antenna system, relating to a conduct of communications which have a first potential interference with respect to the communication channel when the alterable directional vector is in the first state and a second potential interference when the alterable directional vector is in the second state, the first potential interference being different from the second potential interference, to select one of the first state and the second state in dependence on the automated negotiation;
(ii) define the alterable directional vector of the antenna system to selectively assume the directional radiation pattern having selected one of the first state and the second state; and
(iii) control a communication through the communication channel with the alterable directional vector in the assumed directional radiation pattern having the selected one of the first state and the second state.

Abstract
A method for providing unequal allocation of rights among agents while operating according to fair principles, comprising assigning a hierarchal rank to each agent; providing a synthetic economic value to a first set of agents at the a high level of the hierarchy; allocating portions of the synthetic economic value by the first set of agents to a second set of agents at respectively different hierarchal rank than the first set of agents; and conducting an auction amongst agents using the synthetic economic value as the currency. A method for allocation among agents, comprising assigning a wealth generation function for generating future wealth to each of a plurality of agents, communicating subjective market information between agents, and transferring wealth generated by the secure wealth generation function between agents in consideration of a market transaction. The method may further comprise the step of transferring at least a portion of the wealth generation function between agents.

10. A method of communicating through a wireless network, comprising:
-
(a) providing a mobile antenna system supporting communications through a communication channel associated with a directional antenna pattern with a useful aperture having an alterable directional vector, (b) automatically determining a location of the mobile antenna system; (c) automatically conducting a negotiation by an automated controller, with at least one remote wireless communication device through the antenna system, relating to communications which have a first potential location-dependent interference with respect to the communication channel when the alterable directional vector is in a first state and a second location-dependent potential interference when the alterable directional vector is in the second state, the first location-dependent potential interference in the first state at the determined location being different from the second location-dependent potential interference in the second state at the determined location, to select one of the first state and the second state in dependence on the negotiation and the determined location, wherein said negotiation is conducted by an automated autonomous control which employs game theoretic decision-making to self-organize the wireless network; (d) automatically altering the alterable directional vector of the antenna system to selectively assume the selected one of the first state and the second state, based on at least the negotiation; and (e) automatically communicating through the antenna system over the communication channel with the alterable directional vector in the selected one of the first state and the second state, at the determined location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A wireless network device for operation in a wireless network, comprising:
-
(a) an antenna system, configured to transduce radio frequency waves, the antenna system having an alterable directional radiation pattern having a first state associated with a first directional vector and a different second state associated with a second directional vector; and (b) an automated controller comprising a cooperative agent which operates according to a strategy, configured to; (i) establish a communication with at least one other remote wireless communication device, having a respective cooperative agent which operates according to a respective strategy, through the antenna system; (ii) conduct a negotiation employing game theoretic decision-making with the respective cooperative agent of the at least one other remote wireless communication device, to define the alterable directional radiation pattern to a selected one of the first state and the second state to self-organize the wireless network, wherein the negotiation is conducted with respect to at least a potential interference with or by the transduced radio frequency waves, with respect to communications of the at least one other remote wireless communication device, the negotiation seeking to increase a strategic value of the cooperative agent; (iii) controlling the antenna system to assume the selected one of the first state and the second state; and (iv) communicating information through the antenna system. - View Dependent Claims (20)
