Software-Defined Networking: A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract-The Internet has led to the creation of a digital society, where (almost) everything is connected and is accessible from anywhere. However, despite their widespread adoption, traditional IP networks are complex and very hard to manage. It is both difficult to configure the network according to predefined policies, and to reconfigure it to respond to faults, load and changes. To make matters even more difficult, current networks are also vertically integrated: the control and data planes are bundled together. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that promises to change this state of affairs, by breaking vertical integration, separating the network's control logic from the underlying routers and switches, promoting (logical) centralization of network control, and introducing the ability to program the network. The separation of concerns introduced between the definition of network policies, their implementation in switching hardware, and the forwarding of traffic, is key to the desired flexibility: by breaking the network control problem into tractable pieces, SDN makes it easier to create and introduce new abstractions in networking, simplifying network management and facilitating network evolution.In this paper we present a comprehensive survey on SDN. We start by introducing the motivation for SDN, explain its main concepts and how it differs from traditional networking, its roots, and the standardization activities regarding this novel paradigm. Next, we present the key building blocks of an SDN infrastructure using a bottom-up, layered approach. We provide an in-depth analysis of the hardware infrastructure, southbound and northbound APIs, network virtualization layers, network operating systems (SDN controllers), network programming languages, and network applications. We also look at cross-layer problems such as debugging and troubleshooting. In an effort to anticipate the future evolution of this new paradigm, we discuss the main ongoing research efforts and challenges of SDN. In particular, we address the design of switches and control platforms -with a focus on aspects such as resiliency, scalability, performance, security and dependability -as well as new opportunities for carrier transport networks and cloud providers. Last but not least, we analyze the position of SDN as a key enabler of a software-defined environment.

“…The offloading solutions from 3GPP have been compared in Table III. A detail of these techniques is provided in [35].Apart from these techniques, small cells provide an efficient means for offloading the traffic, and aid the other offloading techniques as well. With cell size getting smaller over the generations, there is less competition among the users for resources, yielding a substantial increase in spectrum efficiency.…”

Abstract-A constant need to increase the network capacity for meeting the growing demands of the subscribers has led to the evolution of cellular communication networks from the first generation (1G) to the fifth generation (5G). There will be billions of connected devices in the near future. Such a large number of connections are expected to be heterogeneous in nature, demanding higher data rates, lesser delays, enhanced system capacity and superior throughput. The available spectrum resources are limited and need to be flexibly used by the mobile network operators (MNOs) to cope with the rising demands. An emerging facilitator of the upcoming high data rate demanding next generation networks (NGNs) is device-to-device (D2D) communication. An extensive survey on device-to-device (D2D) communication has been presented in this paper, including the plus points it offers; the key open issues associated with it like peer discovery, resource allocation etc, demanding special attention of the research community; some of its integrant technologies like millimeter wave D2D (mmWave), ultra dense networks (UDNs), cognitive D2D, handover procedure in D2D and its numerous use cases. Architecture is suggested aiming to fulfill all the subscriber demands in an optimal manner. The Appendix mentions some ongoing standardization activities and research projects of D2D communication.Index Terms-Mobile network operators (MNOs), peer discovery, ultra dense networks (UDNs), millimeter wave (mmWave), next generation networks (NGNs), device-to-device (D2D) communication I. INTRODUCTIONoday the number of hand-held devices is drastically increasing, with a rising demand for higher data rate applications. In order to meet the needs of the next generation applications, the present data rates need a refinement. The fifth generation (5G) networks are expected and will have to fulfill these rising demands. A competent technology of the next generation networks (NGNs) is Deviceto-Device (D2D) Communication, which is expected to play an indispensable role in the approaching era of wireless communication. The use of D2D communication did not gain much importance in the previous generations of wireless communication, but in 5G networks, it is expected to be a vital part. The rising trends between the devices, enhance spectral efficiency and system capacity [2], with reduced latency within the networks. Such a technique is essential for fulfilling the chief goals of the mobile network operators (MNOs).D2D communication allows communication between two devices, without the participation of the Base Station (BS), or the evolved NodeB (eNB). Proximate devices can directly communicate with each other by establishing direct links. Due to the small distance between the D2D users, it supports power saving within the network, which is not possible in case of conventional cellular communication.It promises improvement in energy efficiency, throughput and delay. It has the potential to effectively offload traffic from the network core. Hence, it is a very ...

A Signaling-Based Incentive Mechanism for Device-to-Device Content Sharing in Cellular Networks

Abstract-In this letter, we model the Device-to-device (D2D) content sharing problem as a labor market where the base station (BS) acts as the principal and content providers serve as agents. A signaling-based content-sharing incentive (SCSI) mechanism is designed to encourage candidate content providers to participate in content sharing, and the optimal strategy for each content provider is derived to maximize their utility (monetary profit) while guaranteeing a non-negative utility for the BS. Simulation results show that the proposed SCSI mechanism can increase the content provider's utility and participating enthusiasm in D2D content sharing.
