“…Thus, deploying ICN on the radio access network (RAN) and validating the concept with a testbed can strongly complement theoretical and simulation-based works. Inspired by this idea, a testbed that provides testament for the ICN-RAN using 4G was presented in [21]. The experiments demonstrated that in the cases of real-time applications and video distributions, the proposed testbed achieves a lowerlatency result than presently available options.…”

Key requirements for a better performance of multimedia applications typically include lower latency, improved security, faster content retrieval, and adjustability to the traffic load. However, the current Internet often fails to meet the requirements due to the drawbacks of the host-oriented communication architecture. Those drawbacks can be overcome by a well-recognized networking paradigm, called Information-Centric Networking (ICN), that offers name-based and information-centric communication rather than host-oriented communication. This paradigm uses an in-network caching policy and may provide enhanced security along with user mobility. Therefore, the ICN architecture can outperform the current Internet in many aspects, including, but not limited to, content transfer time, traffic load control, mobility support, and efficient network management. Most of the existing research validating the ICN paradigm's superior performance compared to the current Internet is based on simulation. In this paper, we propose a novel ICN-based testbed, where we used several modified functions for naming, routing, and caching and developed two new functions that provide mobility support and auto-playing of the retrieved content so that the performance of the ICN network is enhanced even more in terms of content delivery time or response time. The proposed testbed architecture is based on Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a prominent branch of the ICN concept. We present the testbed development procedures and the functions in detail and demonstrate that the testbed-based architecture outperforms the current Internet architecture and the basic CCN-based environment.INDEX TERMS Content-Centric Networking, Information-Centric Networking, testbed development.

“…The authors of [32] argued that deploying ICN in the eNodeB is crucial for an efficient data transfer between the eNodeB and the mobile gateways in the core network. In [33], a proof of concept is presented to showcase an ICN-based RAN for 4G networks. Such works legitimate the viability of our proposal targeting the NDN deployment in UEs and eNodeBs.…”

“…The NDN layer is deployed also at the eNodeB. Several works claimed the importance of augmenting the eNodeB with caching capabilities (not necessarily related to an ICN approach) to speed up data retrieval (e.g., [33,35]). NDN offers caching natively and additional features that can help in optimizing the network resource allocation and limit the traffic volume, as detailed in the next Section.…”

Enhancing the 3GPP V2X Architecture with Information-Centric Networking

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications allow a vehicle to interact with other vehicles and with communication parties in its vicinity (e.g., road-side units, pedestrian users, etc.) with the primary goal of making the driving and traveling experience safer, smarter and more comfortable. A wide set of V2X-tailored specifications have been identified by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) with focus on the design of architecture enhancements and a flexible air interface to ensure ultra-low latency, highly reliable and high-throughput connectivity as the ultimate aim. This paper discusses the potential of leveraging Information-Centric Networking (ICN) principles in the 3GPP architecture for V2X communications. We consider Named Data Networking (NDN) as reference ICN architecture and elaborate on the specific design aspects, required changes and enhancements in the 3GPP V2X architecture to enable NDN-based data exchange as an alternative/complementary solution to traditional IP networking, which barely matches the dynamics of vehicular environments. Results are provided to showcase the performance improvements of the NDN-based proposal in disseminating content requests over the cellular network against a traditional networking solution.

Virtualization is a key feature in Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN). It can help to save costs since it allows the use of virtualized base stations instead of physically deployment in different areas. However, the creation and management of virtual base stations pools is not trivial and introduces new challenges to C-RAN deployment. This paper reports a method to orchestrate and manage a container-based C-RAN. We used several instances of the OpenAirInterface software running on Docker containers, and orchestrated them using Kubernetes. We demonstrate that using Kubernetes it is possible to dynamically scale remote radio heads (RRHs) and baseband units (BBUs) according to requirements of the network and parameters such as the server resources usage.
