Conference Object Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 22Energy Aware Routing and Traffic Management for Software Defined Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Özbek, Berna; Aydoğmuş, Yiğitcan; Ulaş, Aydın; Görkemli, Burak; Ulusoy, KazımSince traffic diversity and volume increase with growing popularity of mobile applications, there is the strong need to manage the traffic carried by networks. Software defined networks can simplify network management while enabling new services by employing traffic management including routing whose goal is to maximize the given utility while satisfying capacity requirements. In this paper, we propose an efficient routing algorithm to minimize the cost based on power consumption determined by the number of active OpenFlow switches in a software defined network while satisfying throughput requirements of all flows according to constraints on link capacities in the network. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm based on the number of active switches for different network topologies with various scenarios.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 19New Concepts for Traffic, Resource and Mobility Management in Software-Defined Mobile Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Ahmad, Ijaz; Liyanage, Madhusanka; Namal, Suneth; Ylianttila, Mika; Gurtov, Andrei; Faigl, Zoltan; Bokor, Laszlo; Perez, Oscar Lopez; Itzazelaia, Mikel Uriarte; Eckert, Marcus; Bauschert, Thomas; Saygun, Ece; Akyıldız, Hasan Anıl; Özbek, Berna; Ulaş, AydınThe evolution of mobile telecommunication networks is accompanied by new demands for the performance, portability, elasticity, and energy efficiency of network functions. Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and cloud service technologies are claimed to be able to provide most of the capabilities. However, great leap forward will only be achieved if resource, traffic, and mobility management methods of mobile network services can efficiently utilize these technologies. This paper conceptualizes the future requirements of mobile networks and proposes new concepts and solutions in the form of Software-Defined Mobile Networks (SDMN) leveraging SDN, NFV and cloud technologies. We evaluate the proposed solutions through testbed implementations and simulations. The results reveal that our proposed SDMN enhancements supports heterogeneity in wireless networks with performance improvements through programmable interfaces and centralized control.
