This tutorial paper addresses the physical layer security concerns and resiliency of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communications; the de facto air-interface of most modern wireless broadband standards including 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX. The paper starts with a brief introduction to the OFDM waveform and then reviews the robustness of the existing OFDM…

In this paper, two user Cooperation systems based on differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) with orthogonal sub-channel in the broadcast phase and cooperative phase using Walsh code sequence is proposed. Single relay of decode and forward (DF) type is investigated according to the conventional cooperation protocol. Outage probability is derived and verified by simulation. Independent…

In this letter, we model a dual-hop subcarrier intensity modulated amplify-and-forward (AF) relayed optical wireless communication system with the assumption that direct communication between source and destination is not feasible. The optical channels are considered to be impaired with path loss, misalignment errors, and atmospheric turbulence, and are modeled assuming independent but not necessarily identically distributed Gamma-Gamma fading statistics.…

Mobile cloud computing and other new emerging communication paradigms such as mobile socialnetworking and Internet-of-Things, have brought challenges in flexibility, efficiency, and scalability to the current LTE network. Inspired by thinking of the fundamental mechanisms in LTE as reasons causing those problems, SoftNet, a software defined decentralized mobile network architecture toward 5G, is proposed in this article following principles proposed for designing…

Software-defined networking (SDN) and Open Flow have been driving new security applications and services. However, even if some of these studies provide interesting visions of what can be achieved, they stop short of presenting realistic application scenarios and experimental results. In this paper, we discuss a novel attack detection approach that coordinates monitors distributed over a network and controllers…

In this study, we aim to analyze how Software Defined Networking (SDN) can help to ensure a high-quality uninterrupted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service accompanied by video for prioritized users and entities in a network congested with background traffic. Guaranteeing a level of Quality of Service (QoS) and resource prioritization are key concepts for future networks (e.g, 5G, NGSON) and may be…

The integration of network function virtualization (NFV) and software defined networks (SDN) seeks to create a more flexible and dynamic software-based network environment. The line between entities involved in forwarding and those involved in more complex middle box functionality in the network is blurred by the use of high-performance virtualized platforms capable of performing these…

We consider dynamic flow restoration in multi-failure scenarios in OpenFlow-based Software-DefinedNetworks (SDNs). Flexibility of network configuration in these networks makes it possible to dynamically restore flows in case of multilink failures. To re-route the failed flows, network devices such as switches carry out flow operations, i.e., add new flow-entries to the flow-tables. In disaster scenarios where thousands of flows must be restored in…

Scalable and automated monitoring processes for testing, debugging, and operation of VNFs and service-chains are crucial components towards achieving the aims of network softwarization – i.e., cheaper, faster, and shorter service deployment and network management processes. In this paper we present a decentralized monitoring approach aimed at supporting automated deployment and operation of VNFs and service-chains. The approach is…
