Abstract: A method for selecting and configuring network supernodes includes (i) in a first set period T1, each node, other than a control node in a network, regularly sending information on interactions between the node and other nodes to the control node; and (ii) in a second set period T2, the control node dividing the nodes into a plurality of node clusters according to the received information on interactions among the nodes and selecting supernodes from each node cluster, where each node belonging uniquely to a node cluster.

Abstract: A method for selecting and configuring network supernodes including the following operational steps: in a first set period T1, each node other than the control node in a network sends information on interactions between the node and other nodes to the control node regularly; and in a second set period T2, the control node divides the nodes into a plurality of node clusters according to the received information on interactions among the nodes, and selects supernodes from each node cluster, each node belonging uniquely to a node cluster. The supernode selection according to the invention takes into account both performance and resource conditions of itself and interactions with other nodes. Therefore, when implementing control over other nodes in the node cluster to which it belongs, the selected supernode can find the corresponding node in a short time and shorten the searching time and path, thereby improving the working efficiency.
