Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a network architecture, comprising a planning/policies unit configured to determine at least one target parameter of a network and to provide quality of experience (QoE); a management automation unit including a self-organizing-network configured to optimize the at least one target parameter of the network; a physical parameter and measurement layer configured to acquire a plurality of network parameters of the network and a plurality of measurement results of the network from the management automation unit; a parameter abstraction and performance metric layer configured to subsume the plurality of network parameters into a plurality of resources based on correlations among the plurality of network parameters and to determine a performance metric corresponding to each of at least one network parameter in each of the plurality of resources based on the acquired plurality of measurement results; and a smart virtual monitoring layer configured to determine behaviors of the. network based on the determined performance metric and the plurality of resources, to validate the behaviors of the network, which are effected by the optimized at least one target parameter, based on the QoE as references of determining the behaviors of the network, and to transmit the behaviors of the network to the planning/policies unit for enabling the planning/policies unit to determine the at least one target parameter based on the behaviors of the network.
