Users eventually expect to use their radio connections independently of the access technology, whether through WiFi or 4G/5G, and to seamlessly move from one access technology to the other. This situation urges operators to implement a real fixed/mobile convergence, which has been for decades a recurrent issue in the design of telecommunication networks. Mobile and fixed networks have been developed independently one of each other, mobile networks relying on highly centralized platforms and a few gateways to interconnect with the Internet for data traffic. One major obstacle to fixed/mobile convergence is that networks are built upon functions hosted by dedicated hardware (e.g., the functions of the evolved packet core for cellular networks). But the rapid development of virtualization and cloud computing techniques opens the door to new opportunities of realizing fixed/mobile convergence. As a matter of fact, those technologies make it possible to host on the same piece of equipment or in the cloud cellular and fixed access functions. In this talk, we exemplify the groundbreaking opportunity offered by virtualization techniques by describing the design of a convergent gateway aimed at realizing fixed/mobile convergence, such a gateway being instantiated by a network operating system. The deployment of such gateways also raises new issues with regard to monitoring and charging. The real challenge addressed by this talk is to design a convergent backhaul network and new monitoring and charging schemes for 5G networks.","PeriodicalId":252790,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125662840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the radio spectrum is a limited resource and mobile traffic is expected to continue increasing, utilizing multi-frequency bands will play an increasingly prominent role in relieving traffic overload. Extremely high-frequency bands, such as millimeter wave bands, can provide high-speed wireless data transfer at more than 1 Gbps, their use, nevertheless, presents challenges due to the inherent limitation of directionality and strong absorption. This paper presents a novel communication scheme utilizing millimeter wave bands for mobile data traffic off-loading. The design is based on Content-Centric Networking (CCN) and is evaluated on actual equipment with a model-based analysis. The proposed scheme achieves significant reduction in download time by taking advantage of the CCN architecture, which includes connection-less data streams and location decoupling, and by an ingenious use of local caching. This paper presents a protocol design and its evaluation on actual implementation.","PeriodicalId":252790,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129611134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tackling this issue, different solutions have been proposed, communed by the goal of alleviating the burden on the infrastructure while guaranteeing service availability. In this context, swarming protocols present the advantage of addressing the problem at its source, e.g., by engaging a lower number of direct connections with the network hosted server(s), while the requesters share these same resources among them. However, these solutions are generally verified only through simulation studies. While simulations consist in a necessary first step, they can be far from the actual outcome of employing real protocols and devices. To this end, we discuss BlueFall, an application platform that allows a rapid development and testing of swarming protocols using off-the-shelf smartphones and PCs. Pursuing our goal, we provide some evidence on two swarming schemes we have implemented in our testbed, profiling different access technologies.","PeriodicalId":252790,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115942905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
