This paper presents a novel and efficient data transmission scheme based on mobile edge computing for the massive IoT environments which should support various type of services and devices. Based on an accurate and precise synchronization process, it maximizes data transmission throughput, and consistently maintains a flow's latency. To this end, the proposed efficient software defined data transmission scheme (ESD-DTS) configures and utilizes synchronization zones in accordance with the 4 usage cases, which are end node-to-end node (EN-EN), end node-to-cloud network (EN-CN), end node-to-Internet node (EN-IN), and edge node-to-core node (EdN-CN); and it transmit the data by the required service attributes, which are divided into 3 groups (low-end group, medium-end group, and high-end group). In addition, the ESD-DTS provides a specific data transmission method, which is operated by a buffer threshold value, for the low-end group, and it effectively accommodates massive IT devices. By doing this, the proposed scheme not only supports a high, medium, and low quality of service, but also is complied with various 5G usage scenarios. The essential difference between the previous and the proposed scheme is that the existing schemes are used to handle each packet only to provide high quality and bandwidth, whereas the proposed scheme introduces synchronization zones for various type of services to manage the efficiency of each service flow. Performance evaluations show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes in terms of throughput, control message overhead, and latency. Therefore, the proposed ESD-DTS is very suitable for upcoming 5G networks in a variety of massive IoT environments with supporting mobile edge computing (MEC).

Recently, middleboxes play a key role in many network settings such as firewalls, VPN gateways, proxies, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and WAN optimizers. However, achieving the performance and security benefits that middleboxes offer is highly complex, and therefore it is essential to manage middleboxes efficiently and dynamically. In this respect, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) offers a promising solution for middlebox policy enforcement by using logically centralized management, decoupling the data and control planes, and providing the ability to programmatically configure forwarding rules. Also, cloud computing and distributed Network Function Virtualization (NFV) can enable to manage middleboxes more easily. We introduce SDN-based middlebox management framework in integrated wired and wireless networks and discuss the further issues.

Recent advancements in the integration of satellite technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) have led to the development of a sophisticated network ecosystem, capable of generating and utilizing vast amounts of big data across various sectors. However, this integrated network faces significant security challenges, primarily due to constraints like limited latency, low power requirements, and the incorporation of diverse heterogeneous devices. Addressing these security concerns, this paper explores the construction of a satellite-IoT network through the application of Software Defined Networking (SDN). While SDN offers numerous benefits, it also inherits certain inherent security vulnerabilities. To mitigate these issues, we propose a novel approach that incorporates blockchain technology within the SDN framework. This blockchain-based SDN environment enhances security through a distributed controller system, which also facilitates the authentication of IoT terminals and nodes. Our paper details the implementation plan for this system and discusses its validation through a series of tests. Looking forward, we aim to expand our research to include the convergence of artificial intelligence with satellite-IoT devices, exploring new avenues for leveraging the potential of big data in this context.

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is an open standardized architecture for delivering multimedia service over IP network in a route-agnostic manner. With the increasing popularity of conversational class service, the delivery of a traffic flow with a certain bandwidth demand over a single network path is either not possible or not cost-effective. Multipath transmission is considered to be a promising solution to provide high-quality delivery service. This paper proposes a software defined service overlay network (SDSON) based multipath transmission framework for IMS, which is complementary to existing network architecture. The framework transforms original two-party session negotiation into three-party session negotiation that supports participants to negotiate multipath transmission capacity and path information by signaling message. Based on existing IETF standards, SIP and SDP are scalable to support these functions. Finally, the proposed framework is fully implemented on open source platform and examined by experiments. Experimental results show that multipath-enabled IMS is an effective way to improve the delivery performance of conversational class service.

The mobile computing has been a main mean of computing, because of recent development of smartphone and mobile communication network. The new service technologies, such as cloud computing, big data, SDN (Software Defined Network), and NFV (Network Function Virtualization), are appearing due to activating of the data center. These changes have brought various requirements for transport layer protocol. In addition, the transport protocol should have a extensible function to adapt additional technologies. This paper proposed that transport layer divide into three layer structure for extensible function, and designed the ETP(Extensible Transport Protocol) which is located in the bottom layer.

Ultra-dense small cell networks (UD-SCNs) have been identified as a promising scheme for next-generation wireless networks capable of meeting the ever-increasing demand for higher transmission rates and better quality of service. However, UD-SCNs will inevitably suffer from severe interference among the small cell base stations, which will lower their spectral efficiency. In this paper, we propose a software-defined networking (SDN)-based hierarchical agglomerative clustering (SDN-HAC) framework, which leverages SDN to centrally control all sub-channels in the network, and decides on cluster merging using a similarity criterion based on a suitability function. We evaluate the proposed algorithm through simulation. The obtained results show that the proposed algorithm performs well and improves system payoff by 18.19% and 436.34% when compared with the traditional network architecture algorithms and non-cooperative scenarios, respectively.

Smart Dynamic Pricing has been introduced to address the under-utilised network resources problem in mobile telecommunications systems. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of Smart Dynamic Pricing and its signalling models into Cognitive Radio Systems. Cognitive Radio System is defined as one in which cognitive radios are employed to access shared spectrum and/or dynamically allocated spectrum. Network elements, protocols, traffic and control channels, and system architecture are proposed for the implementation of Smart Dynamic Pricing in Cognitive Radio System. It is found that Smart Dynamic Pricing and its signalling models can be applied to Cognitive Radio Systems.

네트워크 가상화를 위한 대표적인 개방적 아키텍처로 OpenFow를 들 수 있다. OpenfFow는 가상 네트워크(Software Defined Network) 개념을 실현하기 위한 랜 스위치 제어 프로토콜의 집합체로서 데이터 센터 등 주로 유선랜 환경을 목표로 설계되어 활용되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 OpenFlow를 무선랜의 AP(Access Point)에 적용하여 WiFi 디바이스들로 구성된 가상 무선 네트워크 관리 프레임을 구현한다. 구현된 관리 프레임은 WiFi 디바이스들의 토폴로지와 트래픽 상황을 중앙 관제 센터에서 모니터링할 수 있고, 플로우 경로를 설정함으로써 라우터를 경유하지 않고 AP 수준에서 스위칭(라우팅)이 가능하여 전체적인 트래픽 혼잡을 크게 줄일 수 있다.
