Resilient BBU placement in 5G C-RAN over optical aggregation networks

Evolving to an Open C-RAN Architecture for 5G

Linear State Estimation via 5G C-RAN Cellular Networks using Gaussian Belief Propagation

Machine-type communications and large-scale information processing architectures are among key (r)evolutionary enhancements of emerging fifth-generation (5G) mobile cellular networks. Massive data acquisition and processing will make 5G network an ideal platform for large-scale system monitoring and control with applications in future smart transportation, connected industry, power grids, etc. ...

Resilient in-network aggregation for vehicular networks

Applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are an active field of research with the potential to significantly contribute to driver safety, traffic efficiency, and comfort. Messages are typically exchanged and forwarded between vehicles using wireless communication, thereby creating a wireless ad hoc network. Especially traffic efficiency applications require the dissemination of infor...

Resilient Aggregation in Simple Linear Sensor Networks

A sensor network is a network comprised of many small, wireless, resourcelimited nodes that sense data about their environment and report readings to a base station. One technique to conserve power in a sensor network is to aggregate sensor readings hop-by-hop as they travel towards a base station, thereby reducing the total number of messages required to collect each sensor reading. In an adve...

Designing Resilient Long-Reach Passive Optical Networks

We report on an emerging application focused on the design of resilient long reach passive optical networks using combinatorial optimisation techniques. The objective of the application is to determine the optimal position and capacity of a set of metro nodes. We specifically consider dual parented networks whereby each customer must be associated with two metro nodes. An important property of ...
