The combination of Small Cells as a Service
(SCaaS) together with Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technologies, as considered
by the SESAME project, provides a promising framework for
dealing with the challenging requirements of mobile broadband
service provisioning in multi-tenant dense scenarios. Under this
context, this paper focuses on the development of Self-X functions
to support the autonomic management of multi-tenant cloud
enabled small cells in these scenarios. After presenting the
architecture for supporting these functions in the SESAME
project, the paper presents three different examples of Self-X
functions, dealing with cross-layer TCP optimization during
handovers, on-demand virtualized resource allocation and
mobility load balancing.
