Realizing ICN in 3GPP's 5G NextGen Core Architecture

The Soundness of Component NextGen

This technical report presents a type soundness proof for Core CGen, a small, formal language designed for studying the addition of a component system based on genericity to a nominally typed objectoriented language supporting first-class generics. Core CGen captures the most intricate aspects of the Component NextGen programming language, an extension of the NextGen architecture that provides ...

SoftAir: A software defined networking architecture for 5G wireless systems

One of the main building blocks and major challenges for 5G cellular systems is the design of flexible network architectures which can be realized by the software defined networking paradigm. Existing commercial cellular systems rely on closed and inflexible hardware-based architectures both at the radio frontend and in the core network. These problems significantly delay the adoption and deplo...

5G-Crosshaul: An SDN/NFV control and data plane architecture for the 5G integrated Fronthaul/Backhaul

This paper presents the control and data plane architecture design for a 5G transport solution (5G-Crosshaul) with the aim of integrating the fronthaul and backhaul network segments in a common transport stratum. The control plane relies on the SDN/NFV concept to control and orchestrate the different elements of the network (the 5G-Crosshaul Control Infrastructure, XCI). The data plane is based...

A Framework for Privacy Analysis of ICN Architectures

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has recently received increasing attention from the research community. Its intriguing properties, including identity/location split, in-network caching and multicast, have turned it into the primary paradigm for many recent internetworking proposals. Most of these are mainly concerned with core architectural issues of ICN including naming, routing, and scal...
