Adaptive Resource Management and Control in Software Defined Networks

Traffic, Resource and Mobility Management in Software-Defined Mobile Networks

The evolution of mobile telecommunication networks is accompanied by new demands for the performance, portability, elasticity, and energy efficiency of network functions. Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and cloud service technologies are claimed to be able to provide most of the capabilities. However, great leap forward will only be achieved if resource...

Network Resource Management for Improving Users Quality of experience in Software Defined Network by Weighted Fuzzy Petri-NetMethod

The rapid rise in popularity of multimedia applications, such as VoIP, IPTV and Video Conferencing, intensifies the need to consider resource management for user satisfaction. Furthermore, improving Quality of Experience (QoE) in Software Defined Networks (SDNs) services is one of the important issues to be addressed by provisioning optimum resource management. In this paper, resource allocatio...

Network Management Challenges in Software-Defined Networks

Software-Defined Networking currently appears to be a major evolution towards network programmability. In this paper, we first analyze the network management capabilities of OpenFlow in order to identify the main challenges that are raised for SDN management. We address current deficiencies of SDN management and suggest solutions that incur research directions to be carried out for the manageme...

Mobility Management Framework in Software Defined Networks

There have been quite a number of approaches for mobility management in IP networks to provide service continuity to mobile nodes traveling across heterogeneous wireless networks. One of the reasons making those existing approaches difficult to be applied into real network environment is that they commonly require significant functional updates on network devices including routers, control serv...
