Extending OpenFlow for SDN-enabled synchronous Ethernet networks

There is an increasing need of synchronization and clock frequency distribution in core and access networks. Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) is a technology that is able to distribute clock frequency over Ethernet networks, while keeping scalability and reduced costs. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is another emerging technology that is changing the landscape of network management by separating […]

A greedy approach for minimizing SDN control overhead

In the SDN approach, the control and data planes are separated to enable programmability and interoperability, the control plane being logically centralized. Scalability and reliability are key properties for the SDN control plane. In WAN deployments, it is already envisioned as physically distributed to span across the networks and avoid single point of failure. In […]

QOF: QoS Framework Based on OpenFlow

The growing emergence of a variety of network applications have stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements which cannot be always met by the best-effort Internet. To provide QoS, several QoS frameworks have been explored over last two decades, but none of them has been truly successful and globally implemented. This paper proposes QOF, a novel […]

Toward a semantic-based packet forwarding model for Openflow

Openflow is a step towards a more flexible data plane. In Openflow-based deployments, packet forwarding model relies on a set of pipelined tables. However, supporting multiple hardware tables is challenging while having serious limitations. In this paper, we investigate a novel approach to packet forwarding design that tailors Openflow forwarding paths according to the underlying […]

Load-dependent flow splitting for traffic engineering in resilient OpenFlow networks

In this paper we propose and investigate load-dependent load balancing for resilient OpenFlow networks. The objective is to spare extra capacity for the primary path of a traffic aggregate (flow) by accommodating excess traffic on its backup path. The contribution of the paper is manyfold. We explain existing OpenFlow features for traffic monitoring and dynamic […]

Independent transient plane design for protection in OpenFlow-based networks

Network protection against link failure is required to allow packets to reach the destination with minimal packet loss when a failure occurs. When a link fails, traffic that attempts to use the failed link is interrupted. Typically, routers in the network discover the failure and find a new route to bypass the failed link. Alternatively, […]

Analysis and Optimization of Random Sensing Order in Cognitive Radio Networks

Developing an efficient spectrum access policy enables cognitive radios to dramatically increase spectrum utilization while ensuring the predetermined quality of service levels for primary users (PUs). In this paper, the modeling, performance analysis, and optimization of a distributed secondary network with a random sensing order policy are studied. Specifically, secondary users (SUs) create a random […]

Precoding-Based Interference Mitigation for MR-OFDM in Smart Utility Networks

The emerging smart utility networks (SUN) provide two-way communications between smart meters and smart appliances to achieve low power usage, low cost and high reliability. Because SUN are composed of dense wireless devices, signal interference between the devices is an inevitable problem. This paper presents a precoder design that can reduce the effects of interference […]

Disintegrated channel estimation in scalable filter-and-forward relay network with IRI coordination

Accurate channel estimation (CE) techniques are highly desired to achieve the spatial diversity that is supported by multiple relays. This paper investigates a disintegrated CE technique that is unavoidably required for the space-time coding in the cooperative relay network and that can effectively work in a scalable relay network with a fixed protocol. The filter-and-forward […]

Strategic frequency adaptation for mid-range magnetic induction-based Wireless Underground Sensor Networks

Some classes of sensing applications target scenarios where the overall system, including antenna and energy sub-system, is placed under the ground, through concrete, or under-the-debris (disaster scenario). A real-time soil moisture sensing system deployed at the root zone of a crop area for precise irrigation and an oil pipeline leak detection (PLD) system are particular […]
