Reducing Management Complexity through Pure Exchange Economies: A Prototype System for Next Generation Wireless/Mobile Network Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design and implementation of a protocol for supporting Wireless LAN (WLAN) roaming federations. Unlike existing approaches, which incur significant management overhead, our protocol is designed specifically with reducing management complexity in mind. More specifically, the next generation operators that oversee our WLAN federations are not involved in WLAN provisioning decisions. Rather, the WLANs that participate in the federation form a pure exchange economy in which WLAN resources are constantly being traded. By simply enabling a reputation-based incentive mechanism, the operator allows cooperation to evolve within the federation, and can benefit indirectly from the process.

-In next-generation wireless networks, mobile nodes (MNs) need to freely change their network attachment point while communicating with others. Accordingly, it is crucial for mobile operators to provide efficient seamless mobility support. Several mobility protocols have been standardized by the working groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). However, none of them can provide seam...
متن کاملA SON-Based Optimized Network Management System for Next-Generation Mobile Networks
The self-organizing networks (SON) technique is necessary to develop and manage efficiently a current complicated network system requiring various management work. For development of a SON system, it is very important but still laborious to design a coordination function to avoid performance degradation due to conflicts among multiple management algorithms. This paper proposes a SON-based optim...
