With the ultimate goal of replacing proprietary hardware appliances with Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) implemented in software, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been gaining popularity in the past few years. Software switches…

With the advent of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), network services that traditionally run on proprietary dedicated hardware can now be realized using Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) that are hosted on general-purpose commodity…

Network coding (NC) is a novel coding technology that can be seen as a generalization of classic point-to-point coding. As with classic coding, both information theoretical and algebraic views bring different and complementary insights of…

We consider a task of serving requests that arrive in an online fashion in Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) with network function virtualization (NFV). Each request specifies an abstract routing and processing "plan" for a flow. Each…

One of the main goals of 5G networks is to support the technological and business needs of various industries (the so-called verticals), which wish to offer to their customers a wide range of services characterized by diverse performance…

An appealing feature of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is that in an NFV-based network, a network function (NF) instance may be placed at any node. On the one hand this offers great flexibility in allocation of redundant instances,…

An approach to using the concept of Software-Defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualization (SDN/NFV) for the implementation of an information security monitoring and management system in 5G and 6G networks is proposed. SDN…

In the continuously evolving cloud computing and network environment, service function chain (SFC) plays a crucial role in implementing complex services in the network with its flexible deployment capabilities. To address the limitations of…

As a tool to exploit economies of scale, Software as a Service cloud models promote Multi-Tenancy which is the notion of sharing instances among a large group of tenants. However, Multi-Tenancy only satisfies requirements that are common to…

The next generation of wireless networks will face different challenges from new scenarios. The main contribution of this paper is to show that Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), as a baseline of flexible circular filtered…

The concept of a softwarized network leveraging technologies such as SDN and NFV comes with different merits such as decreased Operational Expenses (OPEX) and less dependency on underlying hardware components. With the amount of increased…

Software as a Service cloud computing model favorites the Multi-Tenancy as a key factor to exploit economies of scale. However Multi-Tenancy present several disadvantages. Therein, our approach comes to assign instances to multi-tenants…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used for a wide range of applications. Due to characteristics such as the ability to hover and carry cargo on-board, rotary-wing UAVs have been considered suitable platforms for carrying communications…

In Multi-access Edge Computing networks, services can be deployed on nearby edge clouds (EC) as service function chains (SFCs) to meet strict quality of service (QoS) requirements. As users move, frequent SFC reconfigurations are required,…

We study a problem of scheduling real-time traffic with hard delay constraints in an unreliable wireless channel. Packets arrive at a constant rate to the network and have to be delivered within a fixed number of slots in a fading wireless…

Migration and replication of virtual network functions (VNFs) are well-known mechanisms to face dynamic resource requests in Internet Service Provider (ISP) edge networks. They are not only used to reallocate resources in carrier networks,…

The resilience of 5G networks can be strongly challenged by central cloud virtual network function (VNF) outages, which can be cause by server and backhaul connection errors. This paper proposes a context-aware approach to migrate VNF from…

Software is often used for Network Functions (NFs) -- such as firewalls, NAT, deep packet inspection, and encryption -- that are applied to traffic in the network. The community has hoped that NFV would enable rapid development of new NFs…

Network services are increasingly managed by considering chained-up virtual network functions and relevant traffic flows, known as the Service Function Chains (SFCs). To deal with sequential arrivals of SFCs in an online fashion, we must…

Low-speed internet can negatively affect incident response in a number of ways, including decreased teamwork, delayed detection, inefficient action, and elevated risk. Delayed data acquisition and processing may result from inadequate…
