Simple network management provisioning based on quality of experience feedback

Abstract

This paper presents a promising Autonomic Network Management System (ANMS) that allows Service Providers (SPs) to perform efficient network resource provisioning with their Network Operators (NOs). The novelty of our ANMS is that it offers an starting point to use the end-users perceived quality as a metric to manage the network resources. We show that our system is capable of achieving considerable reductions in the operational costs of SPs, while keeping proper bounds in the end-user satisfaction for the offered multimedia services.
