Controlling Next-Generation Software-Defined RANs

Analyzing the Next Generation Software Defined Radio for Future Architectures

Commercial and research work in the field of software defined radio (SDR) has produced designs which have been able to deliver the efficiency and computational power needed to process 3G wireless technologies. Though efficient 3G processing has been achieved by these designs, next generation 4G SDR technology requires 10–1000x more computational performance but limits the power budget increase ...

SoftWater: Software-defined networking for next-generation underwater communication systems

Underwater communication systems have drawn the attention of the research community in the last 15 years. This growing interest can largely be attributed to new civil and military applications enabled by large-scale networks of underwater devices (e.g., underwater static sensors, unmanned autonomous vehicles (AUVs), and autonomous robots), which can retrieve information from the aquatic and mar...

The Next Generation Challenge for Software Defined Radio

Wireless communication for mobile terminals has been a high performance computing challenge. It requires almost super computer performance while consuming very little power. This requirement is being made even more challenging with the move to Fourth Generation (4G) wireless communication. It is projected that by 2010, 4G will be available with data rates from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. These data rates...

Software Defined Networking for next generation converged metro-access networks

While the concept of Software Defined Networking (SDN) has seen a rapid deployment within the data centre community, its adoption in telecommunications network has progressed slowly, although the concept has been swiftly adopted by all major telecoms vendors. This paper presents a control plane architecture for SDN-driven converged Metro-Access networks, developed through the DISCUS European FP...
