Abstract

In the managed self-organization network concept, multiple virtual networks are constructed on a single physical network. They are controlled with a self-organization mechanism based on attractor selection algorithm while the physical resource management server arranges resources allocation for the total resources optimization. An objective of the self-organization mechanism is to keep a high applicability to network changes; it is robust but resources utilization is not necessarily optimized. As a result, the resource management server cannot know the correct states of each virtual network. For extending the applicability of the current self-organization mechanism, this paper proposes a novel virtual network reconfiguration algorithm by dynamically feeding back to the target value of maximum link utilization for attractor selection algorithm. We also show the effectiveness through extensive simulations.
