E2R II WP2: End-to-End Reconfiguration Management and Control Architecture
Objectives
Definition and validation of end-to-end reconfiguration management and control system architecture
Mapping of system architecture to legacy and emerging network configurations
Flexible and optimal split of reconfiguration management and control functionalities between cognitive network elements and reconfigurable end-user equipment
Research and development of end-to-end management and control protocols and support mechanisms of cognitive networks and reconfigurable equipment, and materialisation of emerging concepts of autonomic systems as an evolutionary step from reconfigurable towards cognitive communications
Activity 2.1: End-to-End Management and Control System Architecture
UML Model: Autonomic Decision Making and Reconfiguration Management
RMP functional model high-level view
Objective: Definition of System Architecture
Identification of high-level, end-to-end, reconfiguration management and control functionalities to be offered by cognitive networks and equipment
Specification of logical entities to offer the designated reconfiguration functionalities: requirements, associations, dependencies
Specification of interactions between these logical entities in a transparent way to the underlying networks, network elements, and end-user equipment
Validation model for system architecture evaluation
Activity 2.2: Network Architecture and Optimal Split of Functionalities
Activity 2.3: Enabling Technologies, Protocols,
and Mechanisms for Reconfiguration Management
RMP-enhanced 3GPP LTE SAE for Autonomously Reconfigurable UE
Objective: Protocols and Support Mechanisms of Cognitive Networks
and Reconfigurable Equipment
the survey of existing protocols for supporting the reconfiguration process and appropriate enhancements to accommodate emerging capabilities
protocols to carry out the reconfiguration process
the decomposition of communication protocols into components and their dynamic rebinding
the pervasive intelligence of cognitive networks and reconfigurable equipment through autonomic (self-centred) behaviour.
Objective: Design of Network Architecture
Mapping of system architecture to network configurations
Optimal split of reconfiguration management and control functionalities between cognitive network elements and reconfigurable end-user equipment
Self-Configuring Protocols: reconfiguration delay for the dynamic replacement of the FTP downloading protocol component
Unified Transport Protocol for Mass-Reconfiguration Downloads: transmission overhead due to burstiness
