Scalable and flexible communication networks increasingly conduct the packet processing
for Network Functions (NFs) in General Purpose Computing (GPC) platforms. The …

Diffusion-based molecular nanonetworks exploit the diffusion of molecules, eg, in free space
or in blood vessels, for the purpose of communication. This article comprehensively surveys …

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications have diverse network session requirements.
Certain critical applications, such as emergency alert relays, as well as industrial floor …

Existing Visual Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (vSLAM) approaches that offload
the complex self-localization computations from mobile robots over a wireless network to …

Microservice applications are made of many interacting microservices that can leverage

Purpose Cloud computing originated in central data centers that are connected to the
backbone of the Internet. The network transport to and from a distant data center incurs long …

An Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) is a mobile network architecture that allows a
Mobile Network Operator (MNO) to use network components from different vendors thanks to …

Retransmission at the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer is the de-facto technique to overcome
packet loss at the cost of increased transmission delay in 5G systems. Softwarization of the …

COmputing In the Network (COIN) has the potential to reduce the data traffic and thus the
end-to-end latencies for data-rich services. Existing COIN studies have neglected the impact …
