Secure communication channel architecture for Software Defined Mobile Networks

Secure communication channel architecture for Software Defined Mobile Networks

A Software-Defined Mobile Network (SDMN) architecture is proposed to enhance the performance, flexibility, and scalability of today’s telecommunication networks. However, SDMN features such as centralized controlling, network programmability, and virtualization introduce new security challenges to telecommunication networks. In this article, we present security challenges related to SDMN commun...

Software-Defined Mobile Networks Security

The future 5G wireless is triggered by the higher demand on wireless capacity. With Software Defined Network (SDN), the data layer can be separated from the control layer. The development of relevant studies about Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing has the potential of offering a quicker and more reliable network access for growing data traffic. Under such circumstances, ...

Software Defined Wireless Network Architecture for the Next Generation Mobile Communication: Proposal and Initial Prototype

—In this paper, we propose a network architecture and a methodology to implement a network simulator and a system prototype for the software defined wireless networks with the reprogrammable capability brought by a SDWN controller. The software defined wireless network architecture oriented for the 5G network is defined with a multi-tiered cloud controller and the Openflow interface. The imple...

Concepts for Reliable Communication in a Software-Defined Network Architecture

Not available services or service interruption could have different impact to our social life. Emails or messages which are not delivered in a proper time-frame could lead to omit a meeting or a discussion with colleagues. Interconnected CPS in different domains, like autonomous driving, smart grids, Industry 4.0, needs a guaranteed and safe delivery of information. Nowadays distributed applica...
