Self-Organization Based Network Architecture for New Generation Networks

A new generation network is requested to accommodate an enormous number of heterogeneous nodes and a wide variety of traffic and applications To achieve higher scalability. adaptability. and robustness than ever before, in this paper we present new network architecture composed of self-organizing entities The architecture consists of the physical network layer. service overlay network layer, and common network layer mediating. them All network entitles. i e nodes and networks, behave in a self-organizing manner. where the global behavior emerges through their operation on local information and direct and/or indirect mutual interaction The center of the architecture is so-called self-organization engines. which implement nonlinear self-organizing dynamics originating in biology. physics, and mathematics In this paper. we also show some examples of self-organization engines
