An Adaptive Observation Window for Verifying Configuration Changes in Self-Organizing Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic verification of Configuration Management (CM) changes is an important step towards a highlyoptimized Self-Organizing Network (SON). A verification mechanism operates in three steps: based on the CM changes it divides the network into verification areas, assesses those by using an anomaly detection algorithm, and generates CM undo requests for the abnormally performing ones. To successfully fulfill those tasks, it has to sample the network for a certain time period, called an observation window. However, if the mechanism is timed improperly, it may generate too many false positive undo requests and may even prevent SON functions from reaching their set goals. To overcome this issue, we calculate for each cell a Cell Verification State Indicator (CVSI). It is based on the deviation from the expected performance and is updated using exponential smoothing. A verification area continuously reporting low CVSI values is considered as degraded and processed by the verification mechanism. The presented approach is evaluated in a simulated environment and compared it with other verification strategies. The results show that we are able to get a better result when we consider the CVSIs instead of the absolute performance values of the areas.

The Time Adaptive Self Organizing Map for Distribution Estimation
The feature map represented by the set of weight vectors of the basic SOM (Self-Organizing Map) provides a good approximation to the input space from which the sample vectors come. But the timedecreasing learning rate and neighborhood function of the basic SOM algorithm reduce its capability to adapt weights for a varied environment. In dealing with non-stationary input distributions and changi...
متن کاملSynthetic Robotic Language Acquisition by Observation
Herein we describe work that addresses issues of inter-agent communication skill acquisition by observation in a society of interacting agents. A bee-like society of agents is introduced (most adjacent to these experiments in ethological terms) and an architecture for enabling agents to acquire new skills (learn) by observation is proposed. The architecture is based on a combination of connec-t...
متن کاملOn the effect of low-quality node observation on learning over incremental adaptive networks
In this paper, we study the impact of low-quality node on the performance of incremental least mean square (ILMS) adaptive networks. Adaptive networks involve many nodes with adaptation and learning capabilities. Low-quality mode in the performance of a node in a practical sensor network is modeled by the observation of pure noise (its observation noise) that leads to an unreliable measurement....

In this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol is proposed. In the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV are defined via step by step analysis of AODV and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
