Preface
The main objective of this book is to provide the cutting-edge knowledge about software defined mobile network (SDMN) architecture. SDMN is one of the promising technologies that are expected to solve the existing limitations in current mobile networks. SDMN architecture provides the required improvements in flexibility, scalability, and performance to adapt the mobile network to keep up with the expected future mobile traffic growth.
This book gives an insight into the feasibility of SDMN concept and its opportunities. It also evaluates the limits of performance and scalability of the SDMN architecture. The book discusses theoretical principles of beyond long-term evolution (LTE) mobile network architectures and their implementation aspects.
The SDMN architecture is based on software defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization principles. The book aims at evaluation, specification, and validation of SDN and network function virtualization (NFV) relevant to future SDMNs. The SDMN concept will change the network architecture of the current LTE mobile networks. It is foreseen that SDMN architecture will offer new opportunities for traffic, resource, and mobility management. Moreover, it will introduce new challenges on network security and impact on the cost of the network, value chain, business models, and the investments on mobile networks. This book presents a well-structured, readable, and complete reference of all these aspects of SDMN architecture. It contains ...
