RESUMO

One of the targets of the next generation communication systems is to provide access to any service, to any user, anytime, anywhere, regardless the access network technology or type of user device (mobile phone, PDA, personal computer, and so on). This scenario is called convergence of services by heterogeneous networks, and in such scenario quality of service mechanisms presented in legacy communication systems do not provide mechanisms for interoperability between communication systems nor control data flows after control admission in the border of the communication systems. The heterogeneous handover is also not handled by such QoS architectures. This thesis proposes a QoS control architecture for an heterogeneous communication systems composed by IP backbones and several access networks for several kind of technologies. This architecture is composed by a multiagent system and has controls based on the local behavior of the communication system and supported by complex systems theory. The agent decision algorithm is based on preferential attachment concept and the experimentation results indicate that agents could identify a better path to handle a data flow according to QoS parameters. The agents decided to change the path used to transmit the flow data autonomously and according to quality of service contract between user and service provider. The measurements in the test based on preferential attachment algorithm was useful in order agent change flow data path during data flow transmission to other paths with better conditions according to QoS requisites. The agent decision is based on the parameter values defined between end user and service provider. Considering the control elements from proposed architecture it was achieved end-to-end distributed control.
