Software-defined network management systems presently lack joint link-status awareness on both packet and optical layers.
We demonstrate applications for software-defined networking (SDN) in a transport network using carrier-grade routers and optical transmission equipment.
The potential of multi-antenna interference cancellation receiver algorithms for increasing the uplink throughput in WLAN systems such as 802.11 is investigated.
This paper assesses the way error control is managed jointly by Forward Error Codes (FEC) and Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC) in the lower layers of today's Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) satellit
In this paper, we propose an optimization of MAC protocol design for wireless sensor networks, that accounts for cross-layering information, in terms of location accuracy for nodes and residual ene
In transparent optical networks, signals propagate over all-optical lightpaths. The absence of regenerating devices that act in the electrical domain renders end-to-end monitoring difficult.
Packet scheduling is optimized according to the application layer and transmission strategy adaptation at the adaptive medium access control (MAC) and physical layers.
We consider the background of a mesh network consisting of fixed base station routers connected by wireless links.
We demonstrate a cross-layer orchestration for packet service over IP-optical networks, in terms of availability and elasticity.
To address exponentially-increasing traffic demands, cross-layer optimized architectures will be required to access the optical layer and allow for packet-level control of larger optical flows.
