In typical SDN settings, the routers and switches frequently generate requests to the controller which ensures the proper and efficient operation of the network. Increased workload on the controller results in larger control plane response times, which, in turn, leads to a delayed response to the data plane events. As a result, the controller can become a major performance bottleneck which will negatively affect the performance of the overall system. This problem is important in access and edge networks where a controller is expected to serve a large number of remote switches. In this paper, we propose to address this problem by applying the principle of caching to the control plane of the SDN framework. In particular, we propose to augment an SDN architecture with a transparent layer in between the controller and switch, referred to as a flowcache. Flowcache acts as a software cache for the control traffic, by temporarily storing the content of recent flow table entries modified by the switch. This results in a significant reduction of the access time for future requests of similar flows. We analyze different design choices for the flowcache, analyze its properties, and evaluate the benefits of introducing a flowcache in an SDN architecture.","PeriodicalId":348177,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124222956","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}

Consequently, the concept of Big Data has emerged as a widely recognized trend. In order to accommodate these data-intensive services, a sustainable and resilient network infrastructure is essentially needed, as well as some mission-critical transactions are to be assured in the big data environments. However, there is an inherent contradiction involved in simultaneously accommodating both service resilience by over-provision of network resources as well as sustainable transmission by switching off the unnecessary network elements to minimize the overall energy consumption. In this paper, we propose a sustainable transmission network design (SustainMe) approach to enable the routing algorithms seeking the trade-off solutions between service resiliency and energy efficiency. The simulation results have confirmed that SustainMe approach is feasible and its derived routing algorithm for shared backup protection, i.e., SustainMe_SBP is a promising mechanism to resolve above trade-off problem. It consumes much less capacity by only sacrificing a small increase on energy expenditure comparing with other approaches.","PeriodicalId":348177,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115219495","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}

In C-RAN, the light Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) installed with antennas are densely deployed and connected to the baseband unit (BBU) pool through fibers. Under dense C-RAN architecture with a large number of RRHs, a critical issue is introduced which is how to select appropriate RRHs to adapt to the temporal and spatial data dynamics in order to improve the energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-effective network deployment (EEND) scheme with traffic demand satisfaction. The BBU is empowered with the ability to respond to the varying traffic demand by selecting a certain subset of RRHs. The network deployment problem is decomposed into two sub-optimal problems: RRH-traffic demand node association and active RRH set determination. The first sub-optimal problem is modelled as a multiple-choice multidimensional knapsack problem and solved by Lagrange multipliers. In order to solve the second sub-optimal problem, we deactivate the underutilized RRHs based on sleeping techniques. We adopt Genetic Algorithm (GA) as the comparison scheme and numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the GA scheme in terms of energy saving.","PeriodicalId":348177,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115352173","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 a result, approximate answering approach with accurate sketch has become an important solution to process the fast arrival streams. In this paper, we propose a dynamic sketching framework, which can sample elements from streams with out-of-order data arrival and provide an error-guaranteed estimation schema for many different operators. Within the sketch, we first extract characteristics of uniform sampling and exponential sampling from one-pass streaming data and organize them to support (ξ, δ)-approximation for different operators, such as aggregation operators (e.g., sum, count) and quantile operators (e.g., quantiles, median). Moreover, we construct the sketch in an accuracy lossless and dynamic manner by such operations as sketch splitting and sketch merging without any pori knowledge. The experimental results indicate that when compared to big data analytic systems (Spark, BlinkDB), our approach can achieve 3 times of throughput improvement and 2 orders of magnitude improvement in query response time.","PeriodicalId":348177,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"52 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113934242","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}

CCN has not broken away from the binding of physical location and content name, however, the content source mobility will remain a great challenge for CCN. In addition, the problem of the large overhead incurred during the handoff requires urgent resolution. Software Defined Networks separate the control plane from the data plane to reduce the overhead of the signaling exchange and routing update processing. Hence, we present a method that uses a software defined technique to realize mobility management for CCN. In this work, we propose a mobility management scheme based on a software defined controller. The key point of Software Defined Networking is that the routing table in each content router can be rewritten, allowing the latest relationship between the location and content name to be updated on the network.

How to power these devices wirelessly becomes a challenging issue. Meanwhile, data and energy integrated communication networks (DEINs) are emerging as a new type of wireless networks emphasizing on the cooperation between wireless information and energy transfer. This means that the DEINs can be a solution to tackle with powering UEs wirelessly and further achieving a higher data rate. However, there are no researches that have been studied about how to obtain the optimal scheme in DEINs under the consideration of data traffic. Hence, we propose a fair energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm for DEINs in this paper. Our objective is to optimize the energy efficiency with the consideration of providing fair queuing for data traffic by minimizing the queue length difference among the UEs' buffers. Besides, when designing the downlink energy beamforming and the downlink-uplink power-and-time allocation scheme, power sensitivity of conversion circuits and system stability are taken into account. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed resource allocation algorithm does not only improve the fairness among UEs by queue balancing, but also achieve close-to-optimal system energy efficiency by the beamforming design and resource allocation.","PeriodicalId":348177,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Communications Workshops (INFOCOM WKSHPS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132077477","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}

We propose the use of Bitcoin blockchain together with cryptographic primitives to guarantee that even in the absence of a trusted centralized control, users can agree on an optimal plan for sharing the community resources while not disclosing any private data. We do a case study on a smart community power sharing protocol. Our approach enables the citizens to coordinate this activity without revealing details of their power consumption.
