Superfluidity: a flexible functional architecture for 5G networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the innovative architecture of Superfluidity, a Horizon 2020 project, co-funded by the European Union. Superfluidity targets 5G networks, by addressing key network operator challenges with a multi-pronged approach, based on the concept of a flexible, highly adaptive, superfluid network. Superfluidity supports rapid service deployment and migration in a heterogeneous network environment, regardless of the underlying hardware. The overall proposal offers advanced capabilities in terms of service deployment and interoperability, while guaranteeing high-performance levels end-to-end.

متن کاملSDN/NFV-enabled Satellite Communications: Ground Segment Network Architecture for 5G Integration
The satellite industry is clearly committed to revisit and revamp the role of satellite communications within the 5G ecosystem. Central technologies being adopted in 5G networks such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are also anticipated to become key technological enablers for improved and more flexible hybridization of both satellite and terrestria...
متن کاملSoftAir: A software defined networking architecture for 5G wireless systems
One of the main building blocks and major challenges for 5G cellular systems is the design of flexible network architectures which can be realized by the software defined networking paradigm. Existing commercial cellular systems rely on closed and inflexible hardware-based architectures both at the radio frontend and in the core network. These problems significantly delay the adoption and deplo...
