Management Level 3 Hierarchical configuration management - functional • Identified constraints for SDR management • distributed management • multi-granularity issue • depends of the HW support Multi-standard functional analysis Reconfiguration scenarios analysis L1_CM : • Global manager • Standard level control • Dispatches orders to lower layers L2_CMUs : • Function Level • Independent of the HW • Manages several elementary PBU processing blocks of lower granul. L3_CMUs : • Processing blocks configuration • Embedded very closely to PBU • Dedicated to the nature of reconfigurable resources

  9. Cognitive Radio systems smart sub-system • CR system (wide sense, not only spectrum) • SDR analysis decision stimuli orders learning • sensing user • smart SDR communication sub-system network environment sensing means Application layer adapting means … Multiple physical layers hardware Multiple physical layers Multiple physical layers electro-magnetic environment

  10. Specific CR requirements • In terms of management of the cognitve terminal • collect sensing information of many kinds everywhere • compute metrics • very local impact in the termainal • wider impact in the terminal • make decisions for local impact • transmit information for a wider impact • notify the rest of the system • information « broadcast » inside the terminal CR management • behavioral accuracy • receive notification from the network • Distributed management • Hierarchical management Same constatation as for Configuration Management

  12. Combining management • From a configuration management (distributed,hierarchical) • one L1_CM • several L2_CMUs • each havingseveralL3_CMUs Level 1 Config.

  16. L3 management • L3 configuration management • very close to the PBU (processing block units) • dependent of the HW implementation • reconfiguration by parameter ("common operator") • L3 CR management • capture sensing infofrom PBU • tanslate it into metrics • take a local decision ofreconfiguration, send it toL3_CMU, notify L2_CRU • or transmit to L2_CRU Level 2 reconfiguration orders metrics Level 3 reconfiguration orders (parameters) L3_CRU L3_CMU metrics or sensing information reconfiguration orders from previous PBU towards next PBU processing block unit (PBU)

  17. L2 management • L2 configuration management • abstract orders translation • HW device targetidentification • routing between PBU • L2 CR management • gather metrcis fromunderlying L3_CRUs • take a decision of reconfiguration, send it toL2_CMU, notify L1_CR • or transmit to L1_CR Level 1 reconfiguration orders metrics Level 2 reconfiguration Orders L2_CRU L2_CMU Level 3 reconfiguration orders (parameters) L3_CRU L3_CMU metrics or sensing information reconfiguration orders from previous PBU towards next PBU processing block unit (PBU)

  18. L1 management network reconfiguration orders network metrics • L1 configuration management • wide range changes • standard handover • initiated by • the network • the L1_CR • abstract orders • L1 CR management • all L2_CRU metrics • high-level metrics(user profile, user preferences…) • network metrics Level 1 reconfiguration orders L1_CR L1_CM high level metrics or sensing information Level 2 reconfiguration orders L2_CRU L2_CMU Level 3 reconfiguration orders (parameters) L3_CRU L3_CMU metrics or sensing information reconfiguration orders from previous PBU towards next PBU processing block unit (PBU)

  20. Conclusion • Based on a configuration management for multi-standard SDR systems • Cognitive radio management • Distributed all over the terminal • Three levels of hierarchy • Cope with both terminal centric and network centric CR management approaches • Next steps • smartness implementation through the 3 layers • bibliography scenario survey and confrontation to the CR architecture • configuration and knowledge databases
