“…Also, the ARAS model can also improve the network performance through adaptively controlling the topology of the mobile networks in literature [12], for example, the energy efficiency and the transmission robustness. Nevertheless, although these studies [10][11][12] propose the novel schemes with the ARAS model, they all don't compare the performance with the greedy scheme in the corresponding scenarios.…”

“…Then, dynamical selection for each cluster head of the data gathering layer and next hop of the routing layer can be optimized by the ARAS model. In the same way, literature [11] also proposed a layered future mobile network management mechanism is proposed based on the ARAS model by clustering. Also, the ARAS model can also improve the network performance through adaptively controlling the topology of the mobile networks in literature [12], for example, the energy efficiency and the transmission robustness.…”

In multipath routing of wireless sensor network (WSN), greedy path selection is one of multipath routing schemes to choose optimal paths on demand to transmit traffic, but the greedy selection is always prone to cause path oscillation (frequent path changes) between each source-destination pair. To alleviate the side effect, we propose an adaptive path selection model (called WARAS) inspired by metabolism behaviors of Escherichia Coli (E. coli). The model consists of two main features. The first one is a redefined parameter called pathactivity to indicate adaptation goodness of multipath traffic transmission to real-time network environments, which is inversely proportional to absolute difference between current path quality and best path quality. The second one is a novel attractor expression for each attractor of multi-attractor equations redesigned by us to concretely specify stochastic effect of noise on the path selection. Finally, by putting forward a path quality probe scheme in a multipath AODV protocol, we validate our model can perform better on reducing average network delay and path oscillation than the greedy path selection.

“…In contrast to SoftCell, the method in [7] still keeps the use of MME entity to handle control messages. Motoyoshi et al [8], Raza et al [9], Basta et al [10], and Sama et al [11] discussed several deployment scenarios that use SDN in future mobile networks or 5G networks. Yazici et al [12] proposed programmable all-SDN 5G network architecture by deploying several SDN controllers from the RAN into the core network part.…”

“…With this reason, Openflow is also considered as the protocol between the control and data planes in SDN-based mobile networks. However, some studies have been limited in that they present straightforward realizations of SDN/Openflow but lack a detailed analysis of the necessary procedures [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These studies have only proposed that SDN/Openflow can provide much-needed benefits but have not shown the details for the new architecture.…”

Recently, several researchers have proposed adopting software-defined networking (SDN) concepts for mobile network architectures, particularly for LTE-evolved packet core (LTE/EPC). Although several new designs have been introduced for architectures based on SDN or its concrete realization, Openflow, few studies have presented in-depth discussions of real procedures that are relevant to such architectures. To this end, this paper first surveys the current approaches and solutions for adopting SDN/Openflow in LTE/EPC architectures and then introduces a new Openflow-enabled EPC (OEPC) architecture. This work provides detailed analyses of five procedures that commonly occur in LTE/EPC architectures, and the analyses are further elaborated with the separation of the control and data planes and the support of extended Openflow protocol. The analysis shows that the data management of these procedures is simpler relative to traditional LTE/EPC. In addition, in order to prove that efficient data management takes place for these procedures relative to a traditional LTE/EPC architecture, the numbers of signalling messages that are processed by control entities (i.e., the MME and the controller) are taken into account as a metric to evaluate the OEPC architecture. Moreover, the results of a numerical evaluation also show the benefits of this proposal relative to another Openflow-based LTE/EPC architecture.

“…For example, the adaptive vehicular epidemic routing method [15], the network selection method for multimode communications in heterogeneous vehicular telematics [16], the adaptive signal control for traffic networks [17] etc. CASM also offers a new choice for future mobile network management [18]. CASM has been proved effective for designing a self-adaptive decision-making strategy [19].…”

Abstract-We present a bio-inspired unicast routing protocol for vehicular Ad Hoc Networks which uses the cellular attractor selection mechanism to select next hops. The proposed unicast routing protocol based on attractor selecting (URAS) is an opportunistic routing protocol, which is able to change itself adaptively to the complex and dynamic environment by routing feedback packets. We further employ a multi-attribute decision-making strategy, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), to reduce the number of redundant candidates for next-hop selection, so as to enhance the performance of attractor selection mechanism. Once the routing path is found, URAS maintains the current path or finds another better path adaptively based on the performance of current path, that is, it can self-evolution until the best routing path is found. Our simulation study compares the proposed solution with the state-of-the-art schemes, and shows the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol and the significant performance improvement, in terms of packet delivery, end-toend delay, and congestion, over the conventional method.Index Terms-Vehicular ad hoc networks, routing protocol, adaptive mechanism, biologically inspired networking, cellular attractor selection.
