    Joint Routing and Resource Allocation for Software Defined Mobile Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Özbek, Berna; Aydoğmuş, Yiğitcan; Ulaş, Aydın; Görkemli, Burak
    The need for software defined mobile networking (SDMN) increases to manage the complexity in communication networks for the fifth generation mobile networks and beyond, with increasing diverse demand on data traffic in wireless environments. The separation of the data and control planes offers flexibility in future networks with SDMN by taking into account to the wireless access problem in complex radio environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient joint routing and resource allocation algorithm to minimize the cost based on power consumption while satisfying both throughput and delay requirement of the flows under a given capacity of links in night time traffic through SDMN. The power consumption is determined based on the number of active OpenFlow switches and active ports in the network. In the proposed joint algorithm, we put the selected network components to sleep mode in order to reduce overall network power consumption. The performances of the proposed algorithm are illustrated under different throughput constraints in various network topologies and scenarios in night-time traffic. © 2019 IEEE.

    Joint Beamforming and Power Control Technique for Femtocell Networks
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Özbek, Berna; Bayrak, Uğur
    The need for high data rate increases with the growing demand for wireless communication. In order to meet this demand, one of the most effective ways is deployment of small cells which are considered as a promising technique for future wireless networks. However, the deployment of these low-power base stations brings many challenges. Interference management will be one of the major drawbacks for the deployment of small cells in coverage of the macro base stations. In order to cope with interference problem, we propose a joint beamforming and power allocation technique for a two-tier network system involving femtocell and macrocell layers to design power efficient networks. The beamforming technique is applied by using partial zero-forcing method to remove the highest cross-tier interference while satisfying the macro and femtocell users’ data rate requirements. Then, we perform power allocation to further reduce interference and design power efficient femtocell networks. The performance results of the proposed technique are illustrated in terms of power consumption in femtocell networks.
