Reaching a flat network is the main target of future evolved packet core for the 5G mobile
networks. The current 4th generation core network is centralized architecture, including …

The design and deployment of a novel mobile network architecture, motivated by the
challenges deriving from the explosive increase in data traffic on operator networks, are a …

The current mobile network core is built based on a centralized architecture, including the S-
GW and P-GW entities to serve as mobility anchors. Nevertheless, this architecture causes …

In this paper, we propose a Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based mobile networking
approach with two kinds of controller models. The proposed approach keeps the legacy …

The drawbacks of centralized mobility management (CMM) schemes, such as scalability,
non-optimal routes, and single points of failure, led to the development of a distributed …

The continuous increase of mobile data traffic volume creates new challenges for
telecommunication network operators. As a possible solution, many traffic offloading …

The core architecture of current mobile networks does not scale well to cope with future
traffic demands owing to its highly centralized composition. Typically, it is believed that …

The foreseen increase in the number of services and applications, coupled with ever more
stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, will require more muscle from what the …

Distributed mobility management (DMM) is a promising technology to address the mobile
data traffic explosion problem. Since the location information of mobile nodes (MNs) are …

Implementing and deploying virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) is a prioritized
objective of operators and vendors towards a 5G network, enabling flexible network …
