abstract = {Dynamic Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) is an emerging wireless architecture that splits radio functions in a hierarchical cloud-based infrastructure. In Dynamic C-RAN, wireless functionalities can be divided into smaller components and distributed along with a hierarchical cloud infrastructure. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) concepts have been recently investigated to facilitate managementrelated operations of these wireless functionalities. Despite the advances in providing flexible NFV orchestration for Virtualized Network Functions (VNF)s, there is still a lack of solutions aware of VNFs internal composition, a key characteristic of split virtualized radio functions. In this article, we advance NFV orchestration in a Dynamic C-RAN scenario presenting Orchestra, a split-aware NFVO for Dynamic C-RAN with support to customizable orchestration algorithms for different radio function splits. Orchestra is validated through instantiates and migrates VNFCs following the decisions of personalized orchestration algorithms, with a petty impact in the VNFC’s deployment and migration time.},

In this article, we introduce a control framework that allows experimenters to slice, reserve, and orchestrate optical, wireless, and cloud resources in a coordinated manner. We illustrate the features of our control framework and evaluate it through an experiment involving resource orchestration and automatic service scaling across multiple domains.},

abstract = {The increasing demand for wireless broadband connectivity is leading mobile network operators towards new means to expand their infrastructures efficiently and without increasing the cost of operation. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a step towards virtualization-based, low-cost flexible and adaptable networking services. In the context of centralized baseband architectures, virtualization is already employed to run baseband processing units as software on top of conventional data center hardware. However, current virtualization solutions consider atomic virtualization, i.e., single virtual machines implementing all baseband functionalities. In this article, we propose the fine-grained virtualization of baseband processing to achieve a more flexible distribution of the processing workload in centralized architectures. We also evaluate the benefits of our approach in terms of: (i) The bandwidth requirements for each fine-grained distribution option, (ii) the latency experienced by mobile users for each fine-grained distribution option, and (iii) the total CPU usage of each fine-grained baseband processing function.},

The application of the Radio over Fiber technology is the great bet for the cellular networks’ next generation development, which should undergo massive insertion of Internet of Things devices in the next years. The benefits derived from the use of optical fiber guarantee the fundamental support to the communication of new applications, besides reducing the costs involved in the implementation and maintenance of a traditional network. In this paper, we compare the transmission made through Radio over Fiber structures with a fully wireless transmission, in relation to packet loss using the IEEE 802.15.4 communication protocol for the Internet of Things.},

abstract = {Grande progresso tem sido feito nos últimos anos no desenvolvimento de infraestruturas de pesquisa federadas em telecomunicações na Europa, através do programa FIRE. Mais recentemente, o projeto FIBRE permitiu a interconexão de instalações de pesquisa através de fibra óptica na Europa e no Brasil. No entanto, pesquisas na área de telecomunicações continuam largamente segregadas entre redes ópticas e sistemas sem fio, sendo que raramente pesquisadores cruzam a fronteira entre os dois. Argumenta-se no projeto FUTEBOL (Federated Union of Telecommunications Research Facilities for an EU-Brazil Open Laboratory) que as necessidades dos sistemas de telecomunicações futuros, seja para aplicações de altas taxas de dados em dispositivos móveis inteligentes, comunicações entre máquinas e Internet das Coisas, ou requisitos de backhaul decorrentes do adensamento das redes celulares, exigem o co-design das redes de acesso sem fio e os backhauls e backbones ópticos. O objetivo geral do projeto FUTEBOL é desenvolver e implantar infraestruturas de pesquisa, bem como as ferramentas de controle associadas para permitir experimentação, na Europa e no Brasil, a fim de fomentar a pesquisa experimental no ponto de convergência entre as redes ópticas e sem fio. Nesta apresentação, discutiremos alguns dos maiores desafios em pesquisa experimental em redes de próxima geração, em particular, focando na convergência óptico-sem fio},

FUTEBOL composes a federation of research infrastructure in Europe and Brazil, develops a supporting control framework, and conducts experimentation-based research in order to advance the state of telecommunications through the investigation of converged optical/ wireless networks. Also FUTEBOL establishes the research infrastructure to address these research challenges through innovation over this infrastructure, with a consortium of leading industrial and academic telecommunications institutions.},
