The OpenFlow (OF) protocol is widely used in Software Defined Networking (SDN) to realize the communication between the controller and forwarding devices. OF allows great flexibility in managing traffic flows. However, OF alone is not enough to build more complex SDN services that require complete control and management of the data plane (e.g. configurations of ports, queues, etc.). The…

Enhancing the quality level support for real-time multimedia applications in software-defined networks
Nowadays, the explosive growth of real-time applications that need stringent Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) support, forces network programmers to design network protocols that deliver specified performance guarantees. This paper exploits the use of Software-DefinedNetworking (SDN) in conjunction with the OpenFlow protocol to differentiate network services with quality level assurance and to respect agreed Service Level Agreements. Initially, we define a…
A Scalable Inter-AS QoS Routing Architecture in Software Defined Network (SDN)
All new networking architectures come with their own problems. Software Defined Networking (SDN) has its own challenges which are needed to be addressed by researchers as well. One of the crucial problems with SDN is the control plane scalability since it is a bottleneck for its evolution. As thenetwork grows, the number of messages a controller receives also increases. This increase puts…
Video streaming over software defined networks with server load balancing
Software Defined Networking is a promising Internet architecture to deliver multimedia with end-to-end quality of service (QoS) since it enables optimal dynamic management of network resources and on-demand QoS provisioning by a network operator. We propose a framework for server load-balancing over a single-operator OpenFlow network to improve the quality of service levels of video streaming services. We design a new OpenFlow controller application…
Dynamic Resource Discovery Protocol for Software Defined Networks
In Software Defined Networking (SDN), the network management is logically centralized but physically distributed among the controllers to improve the scalability compared with a completely centralized model. As an alternative to managing the network state in SDN in a distributed way, this work proposes a distributed protocol called SDN Resource Discovery Protocol (SDN-RDP). This protocol divides and distributes the network management among the controllers. In…
Physical Modeling and Performance Bounds for Device-free Localization Systems
In this letter, an analytically tractable model based on diffraction theory is proposed to describe the perturbations of the electromagnetic propagation of radio signals caused by the presence of a moving object in the two-dimensional (2-D) area near the transmitting/receiving devices. This novel model is instrumental to the evaluation of non-cooperative device-free localization (DFL) systems as it…
Distributed Blind Calibration in Lossy Sensor Networks via Output Synchronization
A novel distributed algorithm for blind macrocalibration of large sensor networks is introduced. The algorithm is in the form of a system of gradient-type recursions for estimating parameters of local sensor calibration functions. The method does not require any fusion center. The convergence analysis is based on diagonal dominance of the dynamical systems with block…
Functional Module Analysis for Gene Coexpression Networks with Network Integration
Network has been a general tool for studying the complex interactions between different genes, proteins and other small molecules. Module as a fundamental property of many biological networks has been widely studied and many computational methods have been proposed to identify the modules in an individual network. However, in many cases a single network is…
Near-Optimal Scheme for Cognitive Radio Networks With Heterogeneous Mobile Secondary Users
In this paper, we study the throughput and delay scaling laws for cognitive radio network with static primary users and heterogeneous mobile secondary users coexist in the unit planar region for both without base-station case and with base-station case. The primary network consists of n randomly and uniformly distributed static primary users with higher priority…
Study on the Characteristics of Network Traffic Based on STFT
Aiming at a practical industrial network control system, this paper makes an analysis of types of data, their traffic and directions under different working conditions, and a selection of a link of maximum traffic as a typical one. The method of passive measurement is used to obtain the packets of different protocols passing through the…
