Abstract

There are very few studies using the multi agent concept as an alternative and efficient approach for bandwidth management. The goal of the paper is to propose a novel modelling methodology of wireless network services exploiting multi-agent technology and investigating in depth critical implementation issues of multi-threading techniques focused on network agents. Moreover, it is claimed that an advanced negotiation scheme between network service agents can lead to better model network performance. Thus, the multi agent concept seems a suitable solution for modelling and implementing cellular services simulation. The proposed agent based modelling as well as the proposed implementation methodology of the wireless services are herein presented in three levels; (a) multi agent modelling of the wireless services, (b) developing an advanced negotiation scheme based on current status and curve statistics of network performance and (c) investigating critical multi threading based implementation issues of the suggested multi agent modelling. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed multi agent approach as well as of the proposed negotiation scheme based on blocking and dropping probability curve statistics.
