The document explores the integration of SDN and NFV into Evolved Packet Core (EPC) architectures for mobile networks. It analyzes flexibility, scalability, and programmability improvements for operators deploying advanced mobile core infrastructures.
This paper examines the performance of network functions deployed using virtualization, highlighting measurement techniques, bottlenecks, and optimization strategies for achieving high throughput in NFV platforms.
Building on earlier work, this technical report investigates sophisticated control algorithms to manage web request queues under extreme overload, using user behavior modeling, simulation, and guidelines for real-world deployment in scalable web services.
This paper explores adaptive queue management mechanisms for web servers under heavy load, presenting algorithms that respond to real-world traffic to improve fairness, responsiveness, and user quality of experience in overloaded environments.
The paper proposes models for devolving and redeeming mobile data usage, allowing users to trade data balance efficiently. Analytical and empirical results show how such systems can optimize network resource usage, reduce cost, and increase user flexibility in mobile data plans.
