Swarm Intelligence System and Method for Decentralized Network Node Selection
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260113267A1 on April 23, 2026, filed October 23, 2024 under application number 18923957. The application covers a system and method using swarm intelligence to select and rank nodes in a decentralized network, where the processor evaluates multiple combinations of nodes hosting required resources and ranks them using a path optimization algorithm. Inventors include Maharaj Mukherjee, George Albero, Naga Vamsi Krishna Akkapeddi, and Sakshi Bakshi, with CPC classifications H04L 45/121 and H04L 45/14.
“The processor ranks the combinations using a path optimization algorithm to determine which nodes to use to perform the action.”
About this source
USPTO classification H04L covers transmission of digital information: network protocols, modulation schemes, wireless signal processing, coding, encryption in transit, and multiplexing. With 5G, 6G, and satellite internet driving new filings, H04L is one of the largest active patent classes. Every newly published application in H04L lands in this feed, around 215 a month. Applications publish 18 months after filing, so this feed reveals what MediaTek, Qualcomm, Ericsson, Samsung, Huawei, and dozens of smaller companies were working on in the prior year and a half. Watch this if you compete in networking hardware, advise telecoms on IP strategy, or scout acquisition targets in wireless infrastructure.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260113267A1 describing a system and method for using swarm intelligence to select nodes in a decentralized network. The system includes a memory storing metadata and device information for a plurality of nodes, and a processor that receives action requests, identifies nodes hosting required resources, retrieves device information for those nodes, and determines multiple combinations of nodes that can provide the needed resources.
Technology companies and manufacturers developing decentralized networks, distributed computing systems, or peer-to-peer architectures should monitor this application. While the patent has not yet been granted, its publication establishes a priority date of October 23, 2024 and signals potential future claims in swarm intelligence-based node selection that could affect product development in network architecture and optimization technologies.

Abstract
A system includes a memory and a processor configured to determine which nodes to use for performing an action. The memory is configured to store metadata and device information associated with a plurality of nodes for performing an action. The plurality of nodes hosts at least one resource needed for performing actions, and the device information includes at least one performance parameter related to the physical configuration of each node. The processor initially receives a request to perform an action and determines from the metadata which nodes host resources needed to perform the action. The processor then retrieves device information for the identified nodes and metadata for each identified node to determine multiple combinations of nodes that may provide the resources needed to perform the action. The processor ranks the combinations using a path optimization algorithm to determine which nodes to use to perform the action.
