A Cross-Layer Architecture for Autonomic Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Layered architectures are not sufficiently flexible to cope with the dynamics of wireless-dominated next-generation communications. Most existing architectures and approaches depend purely on local information and provide only poor and inaccurate information gathering at the global scale. De-layered or crosslayer architectures may provide a better solution: cross-layering allows interactions between two or more non-adjacent layers in the protocol stack. We propose a new cross-layer architecture which provides a hybrid local and global view, using gossiping to maintain consistency. We evaluate our proposal informally in terms of communication complexity and in terms of its ability to support the “self-*” properties being proposed within the autonomic communications community.

A Cross Layer Autonomic Enabled Architecture for VANETs
Similar to other ad hoc networks, VANETs need to change and adapt to their surrounding environment. Having various internal and external facilities to change network structure and parameters, VANETS are a good target for self-adaptive and self-managing systems. In order to achieve an autonomic system, selfmanagement should be implemented in the system architecture. To address the autonomic mana...

متن کاملA Theoretical Framework for Quality-Aware Cross-Layer Optimized Wireless Multimedia Communications
Although cross-layer has been thought as one of the most effective and efficient ways for multimedia communications over wireless networks and a plethora of research has been done in this area, there is still lacking of a rigorous mathematical model to gain in-depth understanding of cross-layer design tradeoffs, spanning from application layer to physical layer. As a result, many existing cross...
