Autonomic Cooperative Behaviour in ETSI AFI Scenario for Autonomicity Enabled Ad-hoc and Mesh Network Architecture

Streszczenie

This paper discusses the ETSI AFI (Autonomic network engineering for the self-managing Future Internet) dedicated scenario for the deployment of Autonomic Cooperative Behaviour (ACB) for the needs of the instantiation of Auto-nomicity Enabled Ad-hoc and Mesh Network Architecture. An inherent feature of ACB is the use of cooperative data processing and computing among network devices for the purposes of improving the related system robustness and dependability. In fact, as much as they may be differentiated, both ad-hoc and mesh networks share certain common aspects allowing for the application of the assumed scenario in the case of each of them. This approach aims to guarantee certain level of unification in terms of standardisation and validation, especially that the scenario is very demanding due to the existence of numerous walls impeding the quality of data transmission and, thus, calling for ACB as a remedy.
