Hasni Neji, Ridha Bouallegue . Ontology based Interoperability Approach for Heterogeneous Mobile Cellular Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 54, 5 ( September 2012), 28-35. DOI=10.5120/8563-2160
Interoperability issues between heterogeneous networks generations begin by establishing a holistic understanding of cellular communication systems (a starting point for interoperability improvements). To fulfill what already mentioned, we propose an ontological approach that expresses the cellular communication systems' concepts, classes, and properties in a formal and unambiguous way [1]. This approach is first to analyze the structure, inputs, and outputs of three different cellular technologies [2] and [3], performing a domain analysis (of this subset of technologies) and producing a feature model of the domain. Finally, building an Ontology capable of providing a common view of the domain, and providing an effective representation of relations between concepts in different cellular technologies. The final goal is to achieve interoperability between them.
