Abstract
BRAN/WLAN systems, e.g., HIPERLAN/2, IEEE 802.11a, etc., are seen as a promising solution for covering residential, business, transport, tourism, etc., environments, and generally areas of high demand, characterized as “hot spots”. This paper presents management functionality for augmenting the potential exploitation of one of these systems, HIPERLAN/2, by making feasible their (loose or tight) integration in a composite radio (CR) context. The approach will be the following. The first point will be to revisit the main features of a HIPERLAN/2 system. Next, the architecture of a general Service and Network Management System (SNMS), which has been developed for assisting wireless systems in their operation in a CR context, will be briefly presented. The next main point will be the presentation of the functionality of the SNMS component that is tailored to the managed HIPERLAN/2 technology and specifically to the configuration of the Power Control (PC) functionality. An algorithm for configuring the PC operation, based on a greedy algorithm and a neural network, will be presented. A relevant resource management problem, which should be efficiently solved for exploiting HIPERLAN/2 networks, will be addressed. Numerical results will be presented.
