Abstract

The deployment of IoT (Internet of Things) gateways opens new challenges for 5G networks to meet the rapid increase in IoT devices, services, and protocols at a high scalability level. To deal with those challenges, recently, NB- Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) gateway and M-CORD (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter for mobile networks) have been considered as key technologies for developing 5G architectures. In this study, we first propose a comprehensive architecture integrated NB-IoT gateways and M-CORD to meet diversified requirements of 5G and IoT services. Next, Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are applied to build various virtual network functions (VNFs) on M-CORD Mobile Edges. And then, based on these functions, we perform offloading functions of an NB-IoT gateway to an M-CORD Mobile Edge. After that, a network QoS control application is deployed to perform on demand QoS control for multi-tenancy IoT services with different requirements. Finally, several experiments are implemented on a real NB-IoT gateway and our testbed environment, and the results are also presented.

基于SDN/ nfv的M-CORD实现NB-IoT网关部署的可扩展性

物联网(IoT)网关的部署为5G网络在高可扩展性水平上满足物联网设备、服务和协议的快速增长提出了新的挑战。为了应对这些挑战，最近，NB-窄带物联网(NB-IoT)网关和M-CORD(作为移动网络数据中心重新架构的中央局)被认为是开发5G架构的关键技术。在本研究中，我们首先提出了一种融合NB-IoT网关和M-CORD的综合架构，以满足5G和IoT业务的多样化需求。接下来，利用软件定义网络(SDN)和网络功能虚拟化(NFV)在M-CORD移动边缘上构建各种虚拟网络功能(VNFs)。然后，基于这些功能，我们将NB-IoT网关的卸载功能执行到M-CORD移动边缘。然后部署网络QoS控制应用，对不同需求的多租户物联网业务进行按需QoS控制。最后，在实际的NB-IoT网关和我们的测试平台环境上进行了实验，并给出了实验结果。
