Techno‐economic analysis of FiWi access networks based on optimized source packet traffic
- International Journal of Network Management
- 24 April 2019
Abstract
Fiber wireless access networks (FiWi) can be considered as a viable alternative to fiber to the home. In this paper, a new approach to techno‐economic analysis of the FiWi networks is proposed. The proposed approach is based on net present value calculation with the source packet traffic generation rate and traffic intensity as input parameters. As a precondition, an optimization procedure that assures quality of experience is performed in order to obtain the optimal source packet traffic generation rate.

Abstract
One of the main challenges to use network functions virtualization (NFV) is to properly manage the life cycle of the virtualized network functions (VNFs). This work proposes a VNF manager (VNFM) specification that supports different platforms and VNF utilization scenarios. The proposed VNFM specification provides the fundamental set of operations required to fully manage the VNF life cycle. Our primary goal is to simplify the operations, reducing the need for the network operator to know the details of the virtualized infrastructure.
A flow handover protocol to support state migration in softwarized networks
- International Journal of Network Management
- 1 April 2019
Abstract
This paper introduces the seamless handover protocol (SHarP). An easy‐to‐use, loss‐less, and order‐preserving flow rerouting mechanism for stateful VNFs, SHarP is not fixed to a single state management approach and empowers VNF vendors to implement or use the state management solution of their choice. We show how SHarP significantly reduces the buffer usage at a central (SDN) controller, which is a typical bottleneck in state‐of‐the‐art solutions.

Abstract
This article proposes a handover management algorithm named SER for heterogeneous networks considering Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Service (QoS), and Radio‐aware metrics to provide video dissemination with QoE/QoS support. SER algorithm considers the analytic hierarchy process to adjust the degree of importance of each criterion to select the appropriate radio base station that the mobile node must connect. Simulation results show that the SER algorithm delivered videos with more than 12% better QoE than other existing handover algorithms.

Cost‐based placement of vDPI functions in NFV infrastructures
- International Journal of Network Management
- 490-506
- 3 November 2015
Abstract
For a network operator, deploying a set of vDPIs over the NFV‐enabled network is a matter of finding the appropriate placement that meets the traffic management or cyber‐security targets and operational cost constraints. In this work, we formulate the vDPI placement problem as a cost minimization problem and devise a centrality‐based greedy algorithm. We assess its validity by comparing it with the integer linear program optimal solution on a real dataset and on larger random graphs.

free accessRecent advances delivered by Mobile Cloud Computing and Internet of Things for Big Data applications: a survey
- International Journal of Network Management
- 5 May 2016
Abstract
Internet of Things is a new technology that is growing rapidly in the field of telecommunications and especially in the modern field of wireless telecommunications. Based on the technology of wireless networks, both the technologies of Mobile Cloud Computing and Internet of Things develop rapidly. In this paper, we combine the two aforementioned technologies with the Big Data in order to examine the common features and discover which of the Mobile Cloud Computing and Internet of Things benefits improve the use of the Big Data applications.
Improving UDP performance using intermediate QoD‐aware hop system for wired/wireless multimedia communication systems
- International Journal of Network Management
- 432-454
- 26 January 2011
Abstract
We propose a QoD (quality‐of‐delivery)‐aware hop system that can decide when and which packets could be dropped without degrading QoD. We study partial frame discarding policy and early frame discarding policy to maintain QoD. We first provide an analytical study of average buffer occupancy based on these discarding policies and show the closed‐form expressions for average buffer occupancy. We then perform our simulations by implementing a Markovian model and measure the frameput (the ratio of number of frames served).
