An overview of integration of mobile infrastructure with sdn/nfv networks

Abstract:

The growing number of on-line applications and services running on wireless and mobile devices has been limited by the rigidity of actual IT infrastructure, in which the closed union between data and control planes limits the possibility of customize the network behavior. In this context, the concepts of SDN and NFV appear as a viable solution to open the infrastructure to developers in order to create new services and applications. In this work, we describe the concepts of SDN, NFV and analyze the possibility of integrate these technologies in mobile networks. Furthermore, we present the last projects and an architecture proposal focused on this direction. Finally, we discuss the trends and challenges in order to implement these advances in production networks.
