Abstract:
An emerging new generation network is requested to accommodate an enormous numbers of nodes with high diversity and a wide variety of traffic and applications. To achieve higher scalability, adaptability, and robustness than ever before, in this paper we present new network architecture composed of self organizing entities. The architecture consists of the physical network layer, service overlay network layer, and common network layer mediating them. All network entities, i.e., nodes and networks, behave in a self organizing manner, where the global behavior emerges through their operation on local information and direct and/or indirect mutual interaction intra- and inter-layers. We show several results to demonstrate how self-organizing network control behaves based on our architecture.
