Abstract
The continuously increasing complexity of the communication networks
and growing data traffic volume have proven to pose measurable challenges for
the network and service management. The Univerself project is facing these
challenges by designing a Unified Management Framework (UMF) for enabling
widespread and consistent autonomic management of networks and services,
while at the same time maintaining operator's supervision. This paper
introduces our work on wireless access load balancing, being part of the UMF
work. First of all, we summarize our approach (Distributed Decision Engine
-DDE) for information monitoring, further processing and delivery in the
context of autonomic network and service management. We describe our
proof-of-concept prototype on multiaccess capable access selection and load
balancing, and show the employment of DDE and autonomic decision mechanisms
therein. The prototype is evaluated by conducting a set of measurements and
outperformance will be proven against a reference system without network or
service awareness.
