Computer networks have become a critical infrastructure. In fact, networks should not only
meet strict requirements in terms of correctness, availability, and performance but they …

Network slicing is a technique for flexible resource provisioning in future wireless networks.
With the powerful SDN and NFV technologies available, network slices can be quickly …

Network is dynamic and requires update in the operation. However, many confusions and
problems can be caused by careless schedule in the update process. Although the problem …

Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) has become one of the most preferred solutions
for the management of large-scale complex networks. The network policies in the large …

Network slicing is a promising technique for cloud radio access networks (C-RANs). It
enables multiple tenants (ie, service providers) to reserve resources from an infrastructure …

The execution time of conventional incremental off-line schedule approaches for time-
triggered networks increases rapidly when networks become larger. When the traffic in a …

The evolution of virtual reality technology allows users to immerse themselves into virtual
environments, providing a new experience that is impossible in the real world. The …

Network slicing to support multi-tenancy plays a key role in improving the performance of 5G
and beyond networks. In this paper, we study dynamically slicing network resources in the …

In this paper, we propose a control framework for virtual-link provisioning in software defined
networking (SDN)-based Internet service provider (ISP) networks. Within the problem's …

Although most of the efforts to tackle the energy consumption problem have been made on
traditional IP networks, energy-aware protocols normally require of several coordination …
