The ever-increasing traffic demand is pushing network operators to find new cost-efficient solutions towards the deployment of future 5G mobile networks. The network sharing paradigm was explored in the past and partially deployed.…
As mobile network users look forward to the connectivity speeds of 5G networks, service providers are facing challenges in complying with connectivity demands without substantial financial investments. Network Function Virtualization (NFV)…
The telecommunication field has seen unprecedented growth in the last decade that has led to the release of several generations that have been committed to satisfy users by increasing the data rate and reducing the latency, especially in…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a vital player of modern networks providing different types of services such as traffic optimization, content filtering, and load balancing. More precisely, NFV is a provisioning technology aims at…
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review and updated solutions related to 5G network slicing using SDN and NFV. Firstly, we present 5G service quality and business requirements followed by a description of 5G network softwarization…
A significant purpose of 5G networks is allowing sharing resources among different network tenants such as service providers and Mobile Virtual network Operators. Numerous domains are taken in account regarding resource sharing containing…
5G radio access network (RAN) slicing aims to logically split an infrastructure into a set of self-contained programmable RAN slices, with each slice built on top of the underlying physical RAN (substrate) is a separate logical mobile…
While 5G networks are already being deployed for commercial applications, Academia and industry are focusing their effort on the development and standardization of the next generations of mobile networks, i.e., 5G-Advance and 6G. Beyond 5G…
Network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined network (SDN) have become emerging network paradigms, allowing virtualized network function (VNF) deployment at a low cost. Even though VNF deployment can be flexible, it is still…
The fifth-generation mobile evolution enables several transformations on Next Generation Radio Access Networks (NG-RAN). The RAN protocol stack is splitting into eight possible disaggregated options combined into three network units, i.e.,…
It's possible to distribute the Internet to users via drones. However it is then necessary to place the drones according to the positions of the users. Moreover, the 5th Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) technology is designed to accommodate a…
Within 3GPP, the campus network architecture has evolved as a deployment option for industries and can be provisioned using network slicing over already installed 5G public network infrastructure. In campus networks, the ultra-reliable low…
In this paper, we first introduce the NFV architecture and the use of IPv6 Segment Routing (SRv6) network programming model to support Service Function Chaining in a NFV scenario. We describe the concepts of SR-aware and SR-unaware Virtual…
The division of one physical 5G communications infrastructure into several virtual network slices with distinct characteristics such as bandwidth, latency, reliability, security, and service quality is known as 5G network slicing. Each…
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is in the process of developing the next generation radio access technology, named New Radio (NR), which will be proposed as a candidate technology for IMT-2020. This article outlines the wide…
Radio access network (RAN) slicing is a key element in enabling current 5G networks and next-generation networks to meet the requirements of different services in various verticals. However, the heterogeneous nature of these services'…
Towards addressing spectral scarcity and enhancing resource utilization in 5G networks, network slicing is a promising technology to establish end-to-end virtual networks without requiring additional infrastructure investments. By…
Network slicing aims to shape 5G as a flexible, scalable, and demand-oriented network. Research communities deploy small-scale and cost-efficient testbeds in order to evaluate network slicing functionalities. We introduce a novel testbed,…
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) aims to simplify deployment of network services by running Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on commercial off-the-shelf servers. Service deployment involves placement of VNFs and in-sequence routing of…
Virtualization enables the sharing of a same wireless sensor network (WSN) by multiple applications. However, in heterogeneous environments, virtualized wireless sensor networks (VWSN) raises new challenges such as the need for on-the-fly,…
