Defining and Surveying Wireless Link Virtualization and Wireless Network Virtualization

Defining and Surveying Wireless Link and Network Virtualization

Virtualization is a topic of great interest in the area of mobile and wireless communication systems. However the term virtualization is used in an inexact manner which makes it difficult to compare and contrast work that has been carried out to date. The purpose of this paper is twofold. In the first place, the paper develops a formal theory for defining virtualization. In the second instance,...

Virtualization and Slicing of Wireless Mesh Network

Experiments performed on a network provide an exact performance of network algorithms and protocols. While initial research ideas can be evaluated through analysis, simulations, and emulations, implementation and deployment of these ideas on a realistic environment helps in systematically identifying and addressing many practical problems that systems typically encounter. There is no substitute...

A Virtualization Architecture for Wireless Network Cards

Topology Virtualization for Wireless Sensor Network Testbeds

In recent years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enjoyed a growing amount of attention. One particularly promising prospect is to employ WSNs as an extension of the future internet into the real world; this motivates experimentally driven research to evaluate and benchmark new concepts on WSNs. With our poster we will show our approach to virtualizing Wireless Sensor Network testbeds. With ...
