Due to the rapid advancement of technologies including the tremendous growth of multimedia content, cloud computing and mobile usage, conventional networks are not able to meet the demands. Software-Defined Networks (SDN) ...

Disaster management, search and rescue missions, and health monitoring are examples of critical applications that require object localization with high precision and sometimes in a timely manner. In the absence of the ...

As voice services impose stringent quality of service (QoS) guarantees to perform well over IP networks, large network resources should be allocated to their traffic class. It gets unaffordable when hard guarantees are ...

We address the problem of capacity assignment in packet networks with soft maximum waiting time guarantees. We present a multi-level framework for designing and analyzing capacity assignment methods in multiservice networks. ...

In this paper, a channel aware resource reservation protocol for content distribution in an OFDMA wireless network with mobile-to-mobile cooperation is presented. The proposed approach consists of a reservation phase and ...

Data communications and computer networking (DCCN) has established itself as an essential part of most computer science and engineering curricula, usually in the form of courses and/or laboratories. For reliable training ...

Fifth generation wireless networks are expected to provide advanced capabilities and create new markets spanning a wide range of use cases. Among these, massive IoT is standing out with the proliferation of sensors and ...

One of the core novel features of 5G networks is the support of ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). This will pave the way for a plethora of mission critical applications in diverse sectors including health, ...

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has recently emerged as a novel paradigm to facilitate access to advanced computing capabilities at the edge of the network, in close proximity to end devices, thereby enabling a rich ...

Energy efficient content distribution with mobileto-mobile cooperation is considered. The distribution method is based on long range transmission from a base station and on short range cooperation between mobile terminals. ...
