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 />

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT<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 />
