VNF Placement and Resource Allocation for the Support of Vertical Services in 5G Networks
Satyam Agarwal, Francesco Malandrino, Carla Fabiana Chiasserini +1
One of the main goals of 5G networks is to support the technological and business needs of various industries (the so-called verticals), which wish to offer to their customers a wi…
Planning UAV Activities for Efficient User Coverage in Disaster Areas
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Claudio Casetti +2
Climate changes brought about by global warming as well as man-made environmental changes are often the cause of sever natural disasters. ICT, which is itself responsible for globa…
From Megabits to CPU~Ticks: Enriching a Demand Trace in the Age of MEC
Francesco Malandrino, Carla Fabiana Chiasserini, Giuseppe Avino +2
All the content consumed by mobile users, be it a web page or a live stream, undergoes some processing along the way; as an example, web pages and videos are transcoded to fit each…
Characterizing the Power Cost of Virtualization Environments
Senay Semu Tadesse, Carla Fabiana Chiasserini, Francesco Malandrino
Virtualization is a key building block of next-generation mobile networks. It can be implemented through two main approaches: traditional virtual machines and lighter-weight contai…
Resource Orchestration of 5G Transport Networks for Vertical Industries
K. Antevski, J. Martín-Pérez, Nuria Molner +12
The future 5G transport networks are envisioned to support a variety of vertical services through network slicing and efficient orchestration over multiple administrative domains.…
Mining the Air -- for Research in Social Science and Networking Measurement
Scott Kirkpatrick, Ron Bekkerman, Adi Zmirli +1
Smartphone apps provide a vitally important opportunity for monitoring human mobility, human experience of ubiquitous information aids, and human activity in our increasingly well-…
Area formation and content assignment for LTE broadcasting
Claudio Casetti, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Francesco Malandrino +1
Broadcasting and multicasting services in LTE networks are shaping up to be an effective way to provide popular content. A key requirement is that cells are aggregated into areas w…
Optimization-in-the-Loop for Energy-Efficient 5G
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Claudio E. Casetti +1
We consider the problem of energy-efficient network management in 5G systems, where backhaul and fronthaul nodes have both networking and computational capabilities. We devise an o…
Cellular Network Traces Towards 5G: Usage, Analysis and Generation
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Scott Kirkpatrick
Deployment and demand traces are a crucial tool to study today's LTE systems, as well as their evolution toward 5G. In this paper, we use a set of real-world, crowdsourced traces,…
Scheduling Advertisement Delivery in Vehicular Networks
Gil Einziger, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Francesco Malandrino
Vehicular users are emerging as a prime market for targeted advertisement, where advertisements (ads) are sent from network points of access to vehicles, and displayed to passenger…
Performance Analysis of C-V2I-based Automotive Collision Avoidance
Marco Malinverno, Giuseppe Avino, Francesco Malandrino +3
One of the key applications envisioned for C-V2I (Cellular Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) networks pertains to safety on the road. Thanks to the exchange of Cooperative Awareness Messa…
Characterizing Docker Overhead in Mobile Edge Computing Scenarios
Giuseppe Avino, Marco Malinverno, Francesco Malandrino +2
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an emerging network paradigm that provides cloud and IT services at the point of access of the network. Such proximity to the end user translates int…
Virtualization-based Evaluation of Backhaul Performance in Vehicular Applications
Francesco Malandrino, Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Claudio Casetti
Next-generation networks, based on SDN and NFV, are expected to support a wide array of services, including vehicular safety applications. These services come with strict delay con…
