Using UWB for wireless short range, low rate communication is attracting growing interest due to its low power consumption and very high bandwidth. Regarding these qualities, it is comprehensible that there is an interest in the automation industry to use ultra-wideband-based wireless sensor nodes to replace wired systems, to save energy and to save costs without reducing…

UAV-WSN communication algorithm with increased energy autonomy
Nowadays an extensive attention is given to UAVs and their applications. One applications category can be underserved by hybrid systems composed from UAV and ground WSN. UAV can gather data from ground WSN which, at its turn could be initially deployed by the UAV itself. Ground nodes are limited in battery life, therefore, an efficient communication algorithm…
Capsule Robot for Obesity Treatment With Wireless Powering and Communication
An intragastric balloon robot is a less invasive and effective method for morbid obesity treatment. Traditional balloon robots need insertion tools and endoscopes for placement and removal of balloons in the stomach, which may cause complications such as nausea and sickness. This paper proposes a novel capsule robot for obesity treatment with wireless powering and communication.…
Demonstrating a software defined network (SDN) using Carrier Ethernet Switch Routers in a provider network
We demonstrate SDN in a service provider network using adapted Carrier Ethernet Switch Routers developed based on principles of segment routing. SDN based service composition and delivery is showcased and validated.
Software defined synergistic IP+optical resilient transport networks [Invited]
Integrated orchestration of the IP+optical transport network has been well studied in recent years and has become a realistic trend in telecommunication network deployments. OpenFlow-based softwaredefined network architecture is among the emerging and intensively investigated unified control plane solutions. Numerous previous works have focused on enabling optical networks to support the OpenFlow control plane, but mostly discussed from the single controller’s point of view.…
Cellular software defined networking: a framework
Today’s mobile customers desire to remain connected anywhere, at any time, and using any device. This phenomenon has encouraged mobile network operators to build complex network architectures by incorporating new features and extensions, which are harder to manage and operate. In this article we propose a novel and simplified architecture for mobile networks. The proposed architecture, which we call CSDN…
Rethinking virtual private networks in the software-defined era
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have seen an unparalleled increasing adoption in the last decade. Although their flexibility as transport technology and their effectiveness for traffic engineering are well recognized, VPNs are difficult to set up and manage, due to the complexity of configurations, to the number of involved protocols, and to the…
PAM: An efficient power-aware multi-level cache policy to reduce energy consumption of Software Defined Network
Nowadays energy consumption is one of the most significant aspects in Internet operations, where multi-level routing is widely used. In a typical hierarchical router cache structure, the upper level storage serves as a cache for the lower level, which forms a distributed multi-level cache system. In the past two decades, several classic LRU-based multi-level cache…
Software-defined, virtualized networking and beyond 100G
Network Virtualization is coming to play the important role in network architecture because there are many flexible resources are available in ICT infrastructure. In this paper, we describe state-of-the-art challenges to be forced in implementing network virtualization functions and several use cases of utilizing network virtualization to get more value than is provided by using existing network architecture. We also discuss the future direction…
A novel design for content delivery over software defined mobile social networks
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…
