Abstract
Future Internet will be highly heterogeneous supporting a multitude of
access technologies with overlapping coverages. The automation and
optimization of network operations like resource, mobility or QoS management
in such a multi-access and multi-operator environment becomes a very
challenging but vital task in order to ensure smooth network operation and
user satisfaction. Cognitive network management is seen as the solution for
this. However, any self* mechanism designed for small-scale networks and
requiring an accurate view of the whole network status for decision-making
will not be able to meet the future needs. In this paper, we propose a novel
multi-access network management architecture targeted for large heterogeneous
multi-access and multi-operator networks. The architecture introduces
hierarchy to network management to ensure scalability. We also present results
obtained from a case example of the proposed decision-making solution
implemented to our cognitive network testbed
