Motivation

Why is it important?

– The Internet and mobile communication networks are experiencing an enormous growth and are a crucial factor of today’s economy

Future (or today?) networks

– Heterogeneous fixed and mobile networks interconnected by a common IP core

– Quick introduction of new network elements, applications and services (software-defined networking, software-defined radio)

– Internet of Things (Car2car, M2M, D2D)

– Higher bandwidth, reduced delay, higher reliability and lower cost

Challenges:

– Heterogeneity, dynamics, complexity, cloudification, scalability – Energy, localization, QoS, security
