abstract = {The reduction of cost and complexity is a key driver in the evolution of
mobile networks. This reduction not only applies to the pre-operational
state (e.g. the deployment phase of a new network), but to the
operational state as well. During the operational state,
self-optimization processes can be performed to reduce the operating
expenses (OPEX) of telecommunications operators. In this paper, we
propose an agent-based mechanism for auto-tuning mobile networks with
the aim of achieving energy savings in access networks. Firefly-based
synchronization is used for the coordination of mutually dependent
software agents located at the operator's base stations. Once
synchronized, agents can act together to obtain a global goal - i.e. the
reduction of the telecommunications operator's costs without reducing
the quality of the provided services for mobile users. These agents
build a self-organized overlay network where neither centralized nor
decentralized control is needed and, therefore, is more robust. (C) 2010
