In this paper we present an approach for automatic network management in 3G long term evolution (LTE), namely, methods for automatic configuration of locally-unique physical cell identities and neighbor cell relation lists. We show that these issues can be removed from the list of planning tasks and completely replaced by autonomous algorithms. These algorithms make use of mobile measurements to detect local cell identity conflicts, resolve them, and to update the neighbor cell relation lists in the cells. The performance of the approach is determined using simulations of realistically deployed macro networks. The simulations illustrate the ability of the algorithms to resolve local cell identity conflicts. In particular, the algorithms are capable of both accommodating new cells and handling a worst case scenario where all cells are initiated with the same local cell identities and where neighbor cell relation lists are empty. The contributions in this paper are meant to aid operators by allowing them to replace time consuming and costly tasks with automatic mechanisms, thus, reducing operational expenditure.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128281842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used sporadically and geographical variations in the utilization of assigned spectrum ranges from 15% to 85% with a high variance in time. The limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage necessitate a new communication paradigm to exploit the existing wireless spectrum opportunistically. This new networking paradigm is referred to as cognitive radio networks. In this talk, the novel functionalities and current research challenges of the cognitive radio networks are explained in detail. More specifically, an overview of the cognitive radio technology is provided and the network architecture is introduced. Moreover, the cognitive network functions such as spectrum management, spectrum mobility and spectrum sharing are explained in detail. The influence of these functions on the performance of the upper layer protocols such as routing and transport are investigated. Moreover, the network management, operation and maintenance problems are highlighted and open research issues in these areas are also outlined.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128509603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a novel architecture of autonomic resource management framework based on virtualized service-oriented computing (SOC) environment. A non-linear continuous optimization problem is defined for adaptive resource allocation and a model-based approach is adopted to solve this problem. Different from traditional approaches, the analytic model we established provides probabilistic performance guarantees and considers non-steady-state behavior assisted by admission control. Results of prototype experiments demonstrate that the performance of multiple services has been greatly improved by taking advantage of fine-grained resource sharing, while incurring much lower resource usage cost. Also, differentiated service qualities could be provided to different client classes through our dynamic resource allocation scheme.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128627263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an approach for deriving component-level objectives from system-level objectives or agreements, which if conformed to, imply conformance to the higher-level SLA. Our approach partitions the systempsilas state-space into homogeneous sub-spaces, creates micro-models for such subspaces, and then uses such micro-models to translate the higher-level objectives to component-level objectives. We have implemented a system, termed Pranaali, for evaluating our approach in realistic settings.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129669144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional mobile-network-management systems can detect and recover from faults according to previously formulated rules. However, such semi-static rules are vulnerable to large variation in quality of networks and to sudden increases in traffic, which are inherent to radio access networks. Maintenance personnel often had to perform case-by-case analyses for the vast numbers of abnormal cases and such analyses and creation of rules may have taken more time when new faults appeared. In addition, providing network elements timely is essential to maintaining network quality but it is becoming more difficult as mobile networks become larger and more complicated. To overcome these problems, we have developed a system that enhances the conventional UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) management system of mobile networks and improves stability during network operation. In this paper, we present main features of the system and its fundamental technologies: fault detection based on statistical reliability, root-cause analysis of the fault, a rule editor easy to create and modify fault-analysis rules for maintenance personnel, and guidance on expansion based on long-term analysis of trends. We tested this system then confirmed it could reduce fault-detection errors in a conventional management system through theoretical calculations and trials in a cellular mobile network.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128103241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

WS-based monitoring has to be performed efficiently reducing machine and network resource consumption since in such systems latency, memory and traffic overhead is increased by using XML tags to describe data .This is a big challenge that requires sophisticated mechanisms to retrieve data, such as bulk or selective retrieval to be employed. One technology suggested to address this goal is the XML Path Language. Still XPath as a filtering tool raised a lot of concerns in the NetConf mailing list, about its scalability.

Packet loss for audio is normally rectified by adding redundancy using forward error correction (FEC). Alternatively, path diversity mechanisms are used to improve reliability and thus session quality. To achieve optimized receiver audio quality for transmissions using single or multiple paths, we propose a self-adaptive joint error and rate control framework based on packet loss prediction and on-line quality assessment. The error control chooses proactive FEC to preserve quality with optimal bandwidth, using a Markov decision process (MDP) and a stochastic inventory control, a new approach for multimedia error recovery. The rate control uses a quality optimization model to determine the optimal dispersion over single or multiple paths. We present results using simulation and Internet experiments to show the superiority of our mechanism over other similar techniques.","PeriodicalId":368139,"journal":{"name":"NOMS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133935268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
