Network slicing has been identified as the backbone of the rapidly evolving 5G technology.
However, as its consolidation and standardization progress, there are no literatures that …

The fifth generation (5G) wireless network technology is to be standardized by 2020, where
main goals are to improve capacity, reliability, and energy efficiency, while reducing latency …

Many network applications, eg, industrial control, demand ultra-low latency (ULL). However,
traditional packet networks can only reduce the end-to-end latencies to the order of tens of …

Software defined networking (SDN) decouples the control plane from the data plane of
forwarding devices. This separation provides several benefits, including the simplification of …

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a reality. As the IoT is now becoming a far more
common field, the demand for IoT technologies to manage the communication of devices …

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has recently been proposed to aid mobile end devices
in providing compute-and data-intensive services with low latency. Growing service …

Rising energy costs, losses in the present-day electricity grid, risks from nuclear power
generation, and global environmental changes are motivating a transformation of the …

This paper provides an overview of the use of small cells (eg, femtocells) in the Internet of
Things (IoT) environments. As a result of rapid increase in the number of mobile connected …
