Enhanced service availability and resource utilisation by means ofcomposite radio systems management

摘要

This paper builds on the assumption that in the fourth generation(4G) wireless system context Universal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS), mobile broadband systems (MBS) and digital broadcasting systems(DBS) can be three co-operating components that enable wireless accessto IP-based services. Managing the resources of this powerfulinfrastructure in an aggregate manner and multi-operator scenario is acomplex task. This paper presents an approach to the overall UMTS, MBSand DBS network and service management problem. Key points addressed arethe development of open interfaces with service provider mechanisms andthe heterogeneous managed infrastructure, performance monitoring, jointoptimization of the UMTS, MBS and DBS resources in accordance with theservice provider requests and the changing with time environmentconditions. The architecture of a corresponding UMTS, MBS and DBSnetwork and service management platform is presented, in terms oflogical blocks, implementation options and validation approach
