Dynamic Sensitivity Control of Access Points for IEEE 802.11ax
The popularity and wider acceptance of IEEE 802.11 based WLANs has resulted in their dense deployments in diverse environments. While this massive deployment can potentially increase capacity and coverage, the current ...
Simplifying Multi-layer Network Management with RINA
Computer networks are made of multiple co-operating layers that perform different functions implemented by a diverse set of protocols. The current approach of one function per layer implemented via one or more protocols ...
Congestion Control in the Recursive InterNetworking Architecture (RINA)
RINA, the Recursive InterNetwork Architecture, is a novel “back to basics” type approach to networking. The recursive nature of RINA calls for radically different approaches to how networking is performed. It shows great ...
From protecting protocols to layers: Designing, implementing and experimenting with security policies in RINA
Current Internet security is complex, expensive and ineffective. The usual argument is that the TCP/IP protocol suite was not designed having security in mind and security mechanisms have been added as add-ons or separate ...
Towards energy-autonomous wake-up receiver using visible light communication
The use of Visible Light Communication (VLC) in wake-up communication systems is a potential energy-efficient and low-cost solution for wireless communication of consumer electronics. In this paper, we go one step further ...
A Software Development Kit to exploit RINA programmability
The Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) is a general architecture for all forms of computer networking, based on a single type of programmable layer that recurs as many times as required by the network designer. The ...
TRESCIMO: European Union and South African Smart City Contextual Dimensions
Cities increasingly face challenges related to pollution, efficient use of resources (e.g. water, energy) and ensuring a good quality of life for its citizens. Solutions built on existing and emerging technologies such as ...
On the benefits of RINA over programmable optical networks for dynamic and smart resource management
In this paper, we describe the basics of the Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) and its advantages as a packet transport technology over programmable optical networks. In particular, its seamless integration over ...
Modelling the NFV forwarding graph for an optimal network service deployment
The NFV is focused at virtualizing network functions such as gateways, path computing devices, resource allocation mechanisms, proxies, firewalls and transcoders, traditionally carried out by specialized hardware devices, ...
Laying the groundwork for field trials of RINA in the EU
Some of the challenges faced by network service providers stem from early design and implementation decisions made at the infancy of data communications. Due to its groundbreaking potential, the Internet exploded from a ...
T-NOVA: Network Functions as-a-Service over Virtualised Infrastructures
The EU funded FP7 project T-NOVA, with the specific goal of accelerating the evolution of NFV, proposes an open architecture to provide Virtual Network Functions as a Service (VNFaaS), together with a dynamic, and flexible ...
MH-REACH-Mote: Supporting Multi-hop Passive Radio Wake-up for Wireless Sensor Network
A passive wake-up radio in a wireless sensor network (WSN) has the advantage of increasing network lifetime by using a wake-up radio receiver (WuRx) to eliminate unnecessary idle listening. A sensor node equipped with a ...
Software-defined open architecture for front- and backhaul in 5G Mobile Networks
New software-defined open network concepts are proposed in this paper to enable an efficient implementation of front- and backhaul solutions for future 5G mobile networks. Main requirements for 5G front- and backhaul are ...
A reliable asynchronous protocol for VLC communications based on the rolling shutter effect
In this paper we introduce a novel reliable asynchronous protocol that allows to establish a VLC link between a LED luminary and an off-the- shelf smartphone. Our protocol and decoding algorithms benefit from the access ...
Green Routing in Software-Defined Data Center Networks Based on OpenNaaS
Today’s data center networks such as Fat-tree and BCube, are over-provisioned for multi-path routing; and they suffer from inefficient power usage when traffic is not heavy. Green routing technologies are effective approaches ...
Evaluation of Dynamic Sensitivity Control Algorithm for IEEE802.11ax
The explosive growth in the usage of IEEE 802.11 network has resulted in dense deployments in diverse environments. Most recently, the IEEE working group has triggered the IEEE 802.11ax project, which aims to amend the ...
A Modern Architectural View Based upon Enhancements of the SESAME Innovative Approach
The SESAME 5G-PPP project targets innovations in three fundamental 5G areas such as the “placement” of network intelligence and applications in the network edge through NFV and cloud computing, the substantial evolution ...
Open multi-access edge computing and distributed mobility management with RINA
MEC or Multi-Access Edge Computing is a network service delivery architecture that enables cloud computing capabilities at the edge of the access network. Realisation of the MEC vision is challenging with current network ...
Seamless network renumbering in RINA: Automate address changes without breaking flows!
Network renumbering in the IP world is a complicated and expensive procedure that has to be carefully planned and executed to avoid routing, security (firewall, ACLs) and transport connection integrity problems. The source ...
