It uses the Common Public Radio Interface protocol (CPRI). A point to point physical topology can be used, but the deployment of this configuration uses a lot of optical resources. Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) dual fiber and single fiber links can be used to reduce the number of optical fibers. This paper focuses on the single fiber links because in addition to others advantages of this system, it uses less fiber than the CWDM dual fiber system. The difficulty to build a complete fronthaul single fiber solution is to provide a monitoring system in addition to CPRI data transport. We propose to characterize, in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) CPRI requirements, a fronthaul CWDM single fiber link up to 4.9 Gbits/s. Furthermore, an innovative single fiber monitoring scheme, based on the reduction of Rayleigh Backscattering light in the fiber is illustrated. This reduction is carried out due to the combination of a Polarization Beam Combiner and a Faraday Rotator Mirror. This reduction allows improving the capacity of failure detection of the fiber in the CWDM single fiber technology.","PeriodicalId":310313,"journal":{"name":"2015 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124529115","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}

The model has two key components: the estimation of network capacity and the data rate allocation. In the first one, the probability description of Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio is used to obtain cumulative and density functions for the total network throughput. The primary objective in the second one is to achieve the maximum weighted throughput, subject to global network constraints. By using weights in an objective function, a prioritisation among services is achieved. The total network capacity, the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) of Virtual Network Operators, and fairness, are the constraints in this optimisation problem. The novelty of this paper is the addition of support for traffic offloading by considering the collision rates in Wi-Fi. The aim is to prioritise services with higher data rate per session in the offloading procedure, since it leads to a lower collision rate and a higher network throughput. A practical heterogeneous network is considered as a case study, in order to evaluate the model performance. Results show an increase of 2.5 times in network capacity, by implementing an access point at the centre of each cell. The good performance of the model and the VNOs' SLAs effect is demonstrated through numeric results.","PeriodicalId":310313,"journal":{"name":"2015 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)","volume":"378 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124722262","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}

Provisioning of an end-to-end flow-path across such a network with specific service levels requires collaboration between domain controllers across control planes. A service-enabled flow-path shall be quality of service (QoS) enabled, reliable and/or secure, which requires a transport path with certain quantitative service level requirements such as high throughput, low packet loss, or high availability. Each SDN controller can autonomously determine such end-to-end flow-paths when all other SDN controllers periodically advertise to other controllers its available service-enabled paths. Doing so, each SDN controller is presented with several service-enabled path alternatives, crossing other domains, to choose from. We propose a multi-domain SDN controller design, wherein each SDN controller shares its network's “summarized” topology of service-enabled paths with other SDN controllers, such that all domains (controllers) have real-time autonomous decision making capability for end-to-end flow-path selection. We also describe how an SDN controller can reserve and release a flow traversing other SDN domains.","PeriodicalId":310313,"journal":{"name":"2015 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121815468","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}

From a statistical perspective, traffic anomalies can be considered outliers, and must be handled through effective outlier detection methods, for which feature selection is an important pre-processing step. Feature selection removes the redundant and irrelevant features from the detection process, increasing its performance. In this work, we consider outlier detection based on principal component analysis, and feature selection based on mutual information. Moreover, we address the use of kernel density estimation (KDE) to estimate themutual information, which is designed for continuous features, and avoids the discretization step of histograms. Our results, obtained using a high-quality ground-truth, clearly show the usefulness of feature selection and the superiority of KDE to estimate the mutual information, in the context of Internet traffic anomaly detection.","PeriodicalId":310313,"journal":{"name":"2015 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128804759","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}

Experimental results for indoor and outdoor environments are presented which quantify the expected localization accuracy, as well as identify practical issues to be further addressed.

Our findings are as follows. The top 1% of flowset sizes were in the hundreds of GBs to low TBs range, 95% of flowsets had rates less than 2.5 Gbps, and 99% of flowsets had durations shorter than 4 hours. Median flowset rate increases and rate variance decreases with increasing number of per-flowset component flows.
