Abstract. The complexity (in terms of services and multimedia streaming) and dynamicity of telecommunication networks are continually growing, making network management and control more and more difficult. Such a management must be adaptive, dynamic and smart. In order to be sure of getting the best management mechanisms' choice, a monitoring operation becomes fundamental. This paper presents a new adaptive monitoring approach based on a multiagent system, taking into consideration the features of the networks namely flexibility, dynamicity, heterogeneity of users generated traffic, etc. A twolayers monitoring architecture is proposed in this paper. The first layer is responsible for dealing with monitoring of some local parameters, which are useful for the second layer. Indeed, this latter is adaptive, autonomous and able to make new decisions-about the data to monitor and the management mechanisms to activate-based on the current node's state.
In the last decade, cognitive radio technology received a lot of consideration for spectrum optimization. This issue creates huge opportunities for interesting research and development in a wide range of applications. This paper presents a state of the art on cognitive radio researches especially works using multi-agent systems. We propose among others a classification of cognitive radio proposals based on multi-agent concept and point out the pros and cons for each of the described approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
