Optical networks with multi-core fibers can replace several electronics networks with a single topology. Each electronic link is replaced by a single fiber, which can save space, weight, and cost, while having better segregation and EMI…

The sharing of mobile network infrastructure has become a key topic with the introduction of 5G due to the high costs of deploying such infrastructures, with neutral host models coupled with features such as network function virtualization…

A current trend in networking and cloud computing is to provide compute resources at widely dispersed places; this is exemplified by developments such as Network Function Virtualisation. This paves the way for wide-area service deployments…

5G mobile networks leverage Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to offer services in the form of network slices. Each network slice is a logically isolated fragment constructed by service chaining a set of Virtual Network Functions…

Thanks to its computational and forwarding capabilities, the mobile network infrastructure can support several third-party ("vertical") services, each composed of a graph of virtual (network) functions (VNFs). Importantly, one or more VNFs…

As the increase in satellite number and variety, satellite ground stations should be required to offer user services in a flexible and efficient manner. Network function virtualization (NFV) can provide a new paradigm to allocate network…

Federated learning (FL) is a promising approach to enable the future Internet of vehicles consisting of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) with powerful sensing, computing and communication capabilities. We consider a base station (BS)…

The number of smart devices wear and carry by users is growing rapidly which is driven by innovative new smart wearables and interesting service o erings. This has led to applications that utilize multiple devices around the body to provide…

Applications are sets of interacting components that can be executed in sequence, in parallel, or by using more complex constructs such as selections and loops. They can, therefore, be modeled as structured graphs with sub-structures…

Service Function Chaining (SFC) allows the forwarding of a traffic flow along a chain of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs, e.g., IDS, firewall, and NAT). Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions can be used to support SFC reducing the…

Traditional highly-centralized mobile core networks (e.g., Evolved Packet Core (EPC)) need to be constantly upgraded both in their network functions and backhaul links, to meet increasing traffic demands. Network Function Virtualization…

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is a promising technology to cope with the exponential increase in 5G data traffic. Such networks typically require a very dense deployment of base stations. A subset of those, so-called macro base…

5G radio access network (RAN) with network slicing methodology plays a key role in the development of the next-generation network system. RAN slicing focuses on splitting the substrate's resources into a set of self-contained programmable…

Fog networks offer computing resources with varying capacities at different distances from end users. A Fog Node (FN) closer to the network edge may have less powerful computing resources compared to the cloud, but processing of…

The evolving explosion in high data rate services and applications will soon require the use of untapped, abundant unregulated spectrum of the visible light for communications to adequately meet the demands of the fifth-generation (5G)…

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are new paradigms in the move towards open software and network hardware. While NFV aims to virtualize network functions and deploy them into general purpose…

Service provisioning mechanisms implemented across 5G infrastructures take broadly into use the network service chain concept. Typically, it is coupled with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) paradigm, and consists in defining a…

Service function chaining (SFC) is promising to implement flexible and scalable virtual network infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT). Edge computing is envisioned to be an effective solution to process huge amount of IoT…
