Title
Using Kademlia for the Configuration of B3G Radio Access Nodes
Abstract
Configuration and management of radio access nodes in Beyond 3G (B3G) networks such as NodeBs, Wireless LAN or WIMAX access points is a complex task that consumes a high amount of resources. Most configuration changes have to be done by an operator, especially when it comes to the adaption of a node to its environment, i.e., the cells surrounding its own. This is an expensive and inflexible method. Moreover, the required manual interference hampers the adaptivity of B3G networks towards topology changes. In this work, we present an architecture that allows for the detection of neighboring cells, thereby enabling an easy or even autonomic configuration of the access nodes. In addition to this, the presented Kademlia-based overlay network enables the storage of information needed for network management, such as configuration data or performance measures.
