Next Generation Networks
The purpose of the NGN research program is to design, analyze, and implement ideas, solutions, architectures and protocols for the Networks of the Future.
Indeed, unprecedented requirements coming from OTT services and emerging ICT paradigms (self driving cars, robot control, virtual reality) require a paradigm shift from traditional TCP/IP solutions to more flexible, intelligent and autonomous networks.
This RP addresses R&D issues at all levels (from physical to service support) related to bring networking to the future, including autonomous networking, virtualization of network and network functions, programmable networks, 5G and beyond. In particular:
NGN Architectures
cross-layer and physical layer-aware protocol design
fog and cloud network architectures
cloud-assisted mobility and networking
edge-assisted spectrum usage monitoring
5G Service Based Architecture
cell-less mobile networks
autonomous networks
