Tactical Internet (TI) is the communication infrastructure of tactical level maneuver warfare forces; its reliability directly affects the military combat. Therefore, in the TI reliability test, how to generate the appropriate network traffic and get the most accurate evaluation results should be an important part of the TI reliability test research. This paper analyzes the […]
Some M2M applications such as event monitoring involve a group of devices in a vicinity that act in a co-ordinated manner. An LTE network can exploit the correlated traffic characteristics of such devices by proactively assigning resources to devices based upon the activity of neighboring devices in the same group. This can reduce latency compared […]
IEC 61850, the standard for communication in substations, has resolved the interoperability between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from different vendors. Thus, the IEDs’ uniform communication standard contributes to the realization of more sophisticated functionality in substation automation systems. However, there are still several issues unsolved for the simulation, planning, and extension of substation communication network […]
Information-centric networking (ICN) models have recently emerged as novel network architectures for dealing with current Internet usage, where most users are interested in retrieving content without regard to its physical location. In this paper, we consider a noncooperative game between an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and content provider (CP) in an ICN model where the […]
Concurrent multi-link failures in GMPLS Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks can disrupt a large number of active optical circuits. These circuits need to be quickly restored in order to avoid prolonged traffic disruptions at the higher layers. The distributed nature of the GMPLS control plane requires that independent restoration attempts are conducted for each disrupted […]
Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communication are expected to be the major paradigm of communications in the future Internet, where trillion of devices will be connected through heterogeneous mobile networks that will vary in both networking and link technologies. The IoT/M2M devices need to remain connected despite they change their points of […]
Overlapping community structures can reflect the fact that an individual can belong to more than one community, especially the individuals in social networks. It is important to detect overlapping community structures in online social networks. In this paper, an overlapping community detection algorithm is proposed for online social networks. Different from previous works, this algorithm can be […]
The notion of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has already been introduced into cloud datacenter networks for provisioning virtual network environment. Network virtualization of today is generally achieved by L2-in-L3 tunneling protocols like VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible LAN) and NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation) in public cloud datacenters. Some leading production packages for network virtualization have adopted […]
Modern high-speed networks have evolved from relatively static networks to highly adaptive networks facilitating dynamic reconfiguration. This evolution has influenced all levels of network design and management, introducing increased programmability and configuration flexibility. This influence has extended from the lowest level of physical hardware interfaces to the highest level of network management by software. A key representative of […]
Future wireless networks are expected to provide augmented and data-intensive services in a multi-vendor multi-proprietor scenario. This scenario introduces relevant challenges to the networking infrastructure, especially in terms of flexibility and interoperability, that could be addressed by extending the concept of Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) to the wireless or wired-cum-wireless world. This paper provides a review of […]
