Regardless of the context to which it is applied, sharing resources is well-recognized for its
considerable benefits. Since 5G networks will be service-oriented, on-demand, and highly …

Mobile network traffic is increasing and so is the energy consumption. The Radio Access
Network (RAN) part is responsible for the largest share of the mobile network energy …

The introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) and massive machine-type communications
has implied an increase in network size and complexity. In particular, there is already a huge …

This paper details the evolution of access network sharing models from legacy DSL to the
most recent fibre-based technology and the main challenges faced from technical and …

This paper presents the concept of virtual dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), a method we
propose to virtualize upstream capacity scheduling in passive optical networks (PONs) …

The development of Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has resulted from the requirement
for supporting next generation mobile services, which need high capacity, high reliability …

The fifth-generation of mobile radio technologies is expected to be agile, flexible, and
scalable while provisioning ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (uRLLC) …

This paper proposes and investigates a reconfiguration policy of cloud and bandwidth
resources in network function virtualization environments in which the network function …

Multi-access edge computing nodes are being developed in support of next generation
applications, which require high capacity, high reliability and low latency. One important …

In this work we analyse and demonstrate the coexistence of digital coherent and analogue
radio over fibre signals over an access-metro transmission network and field fibre. We …
