With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, various kinds of content can be delivered among mobile users for content sharing. Due to the complexity of networks and particular features of mobile behaviors, to manage networks efficiently, SDMSNs are advocated where the control plane and data plane can work separately but cooperatively. In this article we outline how to…

Passing the torch: Role alternation for fair energy usage in D2D group communication
By using device-to-device (D2D) communication, opportunistic networks promise to fill the gaps of thenetworking infrastructure in remote areas, to enable communication in emergency situations, and to inspire new applications. Yet, to become feasible in practice and accepted by users, it is crucial that the energy costs of D2D connections are small and shared fairly. Fairness, in particular, is a…
Evaluating the gap between compressive sensing and distributed source coding in WSN
Despite the large body of theoretical research available on compression algorithms for wireless sensornetworks (WSNs), only recently have researchers started to design and analyze practical distributed compression techniques. Also, approaches belonging to different fields such as signal processing (e.g., discrete Fourier transforms and compressive sensing) or information theory (e.g., distributed source coding) and networking are seldom evaluated against one another. In the…
Chest-worn health monitor based on a bistatic self-injection-locked radar
This paper presents a chest-worn health monitor based on continuous-wave Doppler radar technology. To achieve low complexity, low power consumption and simultaneous wireless transmission of Doppler information, the radar architecture is bistaic with a self-injection-locked oscillator (SILO) tag and an injection-locked oscillator (ILO) based frequency demodulator. In the experiments with a prototype operated in the…
NOC based Banyan OpenFlow switch for Software Defined Networks
Nowadays, network management has become difficult because of tremendous increase on IP traffic demands. At this point, a flexible and dynamic control mechanism is needed that diminishes the complexity of physical topology. Software Defined Networking (SDN), is one of the proposed next generation technologies to overcome this problem. SDN paradigm provides a simple management strategy for dummy switches in physical topology…
Workload-aware request routing in cloud data center using software-defined networking
Large latency of applications will bring revenue loss to cloud infrastructure providers in the cloud data center. The existing controllers of software-defined networking architecture can fetch and process traffic information in the network. Therefore, the controllers can only optimize the network latency of applications. However, the serving latency of applications is also an important factor in delivered user-experience for arrival requests.…
Software defined networking-based vehicular Adhoc Network with Fog Computing
Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) have been attracted a lot of research recent years. Although VANETs are deployed in reality offering several services, the current architecture has been facing many difficulties in deployment and management because of poor connectivity, less scalability, less flexibility and less intelligence. We propose a new VANET architecture called FSDN which combines…
