Automotive services for connected vehicles are one of the main fields of application for new-
generation mobile networks as well as for the edge computing paradigm. In this paper, we …

Many real-world services can be provided through multiple VNF graphs, corresponding, eg,
to high-and low-quality variants of the service itself. Based on this observation, we extend …

The fifth-generation (5G) of wireless networks promises to bring new advances, such as a
huge increase in mobile data rates, a plunge in communications latency, and an increase in …

ABSTRACT A Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)-enabled analog mobile fronthaul
architecture is presented supporting enhanced flexibility by exploiting the fine filtering …

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are on the path towards designing flexible architectures.
The main goal is to improve the end-to-end system performance responses and at the same …

Com o advento do 5G e suas tecnologias facilitadoras promovendo a softwarização e
virtualização de recursos computacionais e de rede, são materializadas as Cloud-Network …

First, and foremost, I want to thank my mentor Carlos Jesus for the opportunity and trust
given to join the UC3M team into following the PhD path. My exceptional gratitude for the …

Abstract The Fifth-Generation (5G) of mobile networks is designed to accommodate different
types of use cases, each of them with different and stringent requirements and Key …

ABSTRACT 5G and beyond networks are expected to support a wide range of services, with
highly diverse requirements. Yet, the traditional “one-size-fits-all” network architecture lacks …

Cloudification of 5G Network Functions is the desired implementation strategy for 5G
systems. However, running core network services as independent Cloud-Native Network …
