“…Providing a feasible deployment for NC-based subgrouping schemes requires a flexible architecture that is able to instantly deploy MSCs, where UEs with a common video request are able to collaborate locally. In this context, the SECRET communication infrastructure offers a practical celloffloading solution that reduces the holistic energy consumption, where NCC efficiently maintains and distributes data within the MSCs by offloading cellular traffic [4]. In particular, MCHs run lower-layer virtual BBU subfunctions while upper-layer's are offloaded exploiting NCC.…”

“…In this context, SECRET explores proven technology paradigms based, among others, on Network Coded Cooperation (NCC) and Virtualization. Whilst virtualization is implemented based on mature computing tools such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), NCC has been proven to be essential for current mobile paradigms [4]. NCC allows entities to interact and collaborate to improve transmitted signal quality, while making effective use of the system bandwidth.…”

As 5th Generation research reaches the twilight, the research community must go beyond 5G and look towards the 2030 connectivity landscape, namely 6G. In this context, this work takes a step towards the 6G vision by proposing a next generation communication platform, which aims to extend the rigid coverage area of fixed deployment networks by considering virtual mobile small cells (MSC) that are created on demand. Relying on emerging computing paradigms such as NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and SDN (Software Defined Networking), these cells can harness radio and networking capability locally reducing protocol signaling latency and overhead. These MSCs constitute an intelligent pool of networking resources that can collaborate to form a wireless network of MSCs providing a communication platform for localized, ubiquitous and reliable connectivity. The technology enablers for implementing the MSC concept are also addressed in terms of virtualization, lightweight wireless security, and energy efficient RF. The benefits of the MSC architecture towards reliable and efficient cell offloading are demonstrated as a use-case.
