Abstract—In this paper, we establish a policy-based<br />
autonomic mobile network resource management<br />
architecture, then put forward the policies definition and<br />
hierarchies of the autonomic management system. We also<br />
present the various specific policy forms and the working<br />
mechanism of autonomic mobile resource distribution<br />
processes. Through the simulation experiments, we prove<br />
that the autonomic mobile resource management<br />
architecture has a lot of distinct advantages and flexibility<br />
contrast to the methods of fixed resource reservation and<br />
utility maximization resource allocation algorithm.<br />

The article will take IBM autonomic management<br />
system [5,6] and universal policy management architecture [7]<br />
of IETF as prototypes to present the policy-based<br />
autonomic mobile network resource management<br />
architecture, shows in Fig1, aiming at the characteristic<br />
and requirement of the wireless resource management in<br />
mobile environment.<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />
The rapid development of the multimedia application<br />
and the complexity of the network infrastructure<br />
management have made it a new research hot spot to seek<br />
for a network and communication architecture which have<br />
the capacity of self-management, self-configuration, selfoptimization.<br />
The key problem of providing end-to-end<br />
QoS guarantee is how to manage the network resource<br />
effectively in large-scale network environment. Therefore,<br />
it is urgently needed to provide an autonomic method<br />
which can meet the multidimensional requirement (such<br />
as, Service flow types, User requirements, Network status,<br />
etc) to manage the network resource dynamically.<br />
At present, it has gone deep into trending to adopt the<br />
dynamic and self-adapting method to do the resource<br />
allocation research which concerning the fixed network<br />
and wireless networks. However, the current outcomes are<br />
mainly limited in dynamic reservation [1,2] and adjustment<br />
algorithm [3,4] , and to realize the dynamism and selfadaptability<br />
of the resource allocation through monitoring<br />
the QoS of each service in the domain periodically and<br />
execute relevant algorithms. In mobile environment, this<br />
kind of method that fixed the allocation and adjustment<br />
logic inside the network resource management module<br />
can not afford enough flexibility and intelligence due to<br />
the variability of the network and the mobility of the users.<br />
The goal of this article is to establish an autonomic<br />
management architecture of the mobile network resource,<br />
to realize self-management, self-configuration, selfoptimization<br />
by combining policies and utility computing,<br />
meanwhile, to improve the utilization rate of the limited<br />
resource and guarantee all kinds of QoS of real-time and<br />
non real-time services.<br />
Figure 1. Policy-based Mobile Resource Autonomic Management<br />
Architecture<br />
In this architecture, “network resource monitoring<br />
module” constitutes the monitor part of the autonomic<br />
management system, “policy decision point” constitutes<br />
the “analysis” part, all the policies in the “policy<br />
repository” made by the administrator constitute the<br />
“plan” part, “policy execution point” constitutes the<br />
“execution” part, all the experts knowledge in the<br />
knowledge base can support the function of these several<br />
parts above. These parts together form the “MAPE-K”<br />
control ring defined in the IBM Autonomic Computing<br />
concept; therefore, this architecture can meet the<br />
requirement of an autonomic management system.<br />
