NeTS: EAGER: C2RN: Towards Cognitive Cognitive Radio Networks

本计画针对异构认知无线电网路中端到端的服务品质提供，提出一个统一的认知网路管理架构。该体系结构的核心是一个统一的跨层控制器，它有两种控制方案：纵向节点控制方案和横向网络控制方案。基于认知代理网络的水平网络控制动态生成的控制策略指导节点跨层优化资源分配，从而为未来认知无线电网络提供分布式、自主的面向应用的QoS保障的多尺度跨层体系结构。变革的意义是双重的。首先，认知无线电网络的端到端网络行为的表征和理解是主要的基础研究兴趣。第二，认知网络管理是在认知无线电网络中的各种随机性和不确定性下实现面向应用的端到端QoS提供的技术。该项目为各种特定领域的应用提供解决方案，同时满足未来的社会需求。 该项目利用认知网络管理实现了认知无线电网络中各种随机性和不确定性下的端到端面向应用的QoS提供，对3G/4G移动的网络、WLAN/WMAN/WWAN等其他类型的网络也有一定的借鉴意义。研究结果将纳入网络课程。研究成果将在期刊和会议上传播。

This project develops unified cognitive network management architecture for end-to-end application-oriented quality of service (QoS) provisioning in heterogeneous cognitive radio networks. The core of the architecture is a unified cross-layer controller, which has two control plans: vertical nodal control plan and horizontal network control plan. The nodal cross-layer optimized resource allocation is guided by the control policy dynamically generated by horizontal network control based on a cognitive agent network, and thus leads to a multi-scale cross-layer architecture for distributive and autonomous application-oriented QoS provisioning for future cognitive radio networks. The transformative significance is two-fold. First, characterizing and understanding the end-to-end network behaviors of cognitive radio networks is of major fundamental research interest. Second, cognitive network management is a technique to implement end-to-end application-oriented QoS provisioning under various randomness and uncertainty in cognitive radio networks. This project provides solutions for a variety of domain-specific applications while addressing future societal needs. By using cognitive network management to implement end-to-end application-oriented QoS provisioning under various randomness and uncertainty in cognitive radio networks, this project benefits other kinds of networks such as the 3G/4G mobile networks, and WLAN/WMAN/WWAN. The research findings will be integrated into networking courses. Research results will be disseminated in journals and conferences.
