This paper aims to develop the intelligent traffic steering (TS) framework, which has recently been considered as one of the key developments of 3GPP for advanced 5G. Since achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) for heterogeneous…

The SRv6 architecture (Segment Routing based on IPv6 data plane) is a promising solution to support services like Traffic Engineering, Service Function Chaining and Virtual Private Networks in IPv6 backbones and datacenters. The SRv6…

Pervasive encryption makes large-scale labeling infeasible for traffic analysis, while security operations demand edge analysis to avert service degradation and further vulnerabilities. These pressures have produced two disjoint research…

Mobile Networks today comprise of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs), e.g., 4G LTE, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and the upcoming 5G-New Radio (5G-NR). The access networks of these RATs are controlled by RAT-specific entities,…

Building on the adoption of the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigms, 5G networks promise distinctive features includ- ing the capability to support multi-tenancy. Virtual network operators…

Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) will allow implementing low-latency services that have been unfeasible so far. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) are working…

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…

The transition of fifth generation (5G) cellular systems to softwarized, programmable, and intelligent networks depends on successfully enabling public and private 5G deployments that are (i) fully software-driven and (ii) with a…

For many, this is no longer a valid question and the case is considered settled with SDN/NFV (Software Defined Networking/Network Function Virtualization) providing the inevitable innovation enablers solving many outstanding management…

Network Interface Cards (NICs) greatly evolved from simple basic devices moving traffic in and out of the network to complex heterogeneous systems offloading host CPUs from performing complex tasks on in-transit packets. These latter…

With the emergence of Multi-Access Edge Computing in 5G and beyond, it has become essential for operators to optimize the data path for the end-user while ensuring resources are used according to their policy. In this paper, we review…

With the advances of fifth-generation (5G) cellular networks technology, many studies and work have been carried out on how to build 5G networks for smart cities. In the previous research, street lighting poles and smart light poles are…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV), network slicing, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are the key enablers of the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). Service Function Chaining (SFC) plays a critical role in delivering…

Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks are designed to meet various end-user Quality of Service (QoS) requirements through high data rates (typically of Gbps order) and low latencies. Coupled with Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), 5G…

This letter proposes a novel Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) traffic analysis and management model that estimates probable RAN traffic congestion and mitigate its effect by adopting a suitable handling mechanism. A computation approach…

In order to improve future network performance, this paper proposes scalable intelligence-enabled networking (SIEN) with eliminating traffic redundancy for audio-visual-tactile Internet in 5G scenarios such as enhanced mobile broadband,…

When evolved NodeB (eNB) flexible functional split is implemented in Virtualized Radio Access Network (V-RAN) 5G systems, fronthaul connectivity between the virtualized network functions (VNFs) must be seamlessly guaranteed. This study…

With the growing performance requirements on networked applications, there is a new trend of offloading stateful network applications to SmartNICs to improve performance and reduce the total cost of ownership. However, offloading stateful…

Virtualizing the Radio-Access Network (RAN) is increasingly viewed as an enabler of affordable 5G expansion and a stepping-stone toward AI-native 6G. Most discussions, however, still approach spectrum policy, cloud engineering and…

5G promises enhanced performance-not only in bandwidth and capacity, but also latency and security. Its ultra-reliable low-latency configuration targets round-trip times below 1 ms, while optional security controls extend protection across…
