The use of the federation can exploit the advantages of cloud and edge computing technologies as the federation provides the facilities by which both can complement each other. However, certain services are needed to offload from ...

As a core technique of deep packet inspection, regular expression matching effectively extracts valuable contents from network traffic. Its performance is crucial to network security and big data applications. However, mobile internet ...

Blockchain has become popular in recent times through its data integrity and wide scope of applications. It has laid the foundation for cryptocurrencies such as Ripple, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and so on. Blockchain provides a platform for ...

Through multiplexing separate virtual networks on the same network infrastructure, network slicing will lead to customization, scalability, flexibility, and isolation of services in different domains of the ...

Software-Defined Networks (SDN), a trending networking technology, offers promising solutions to address the inherent problems of wireless networks, particularly Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The integration of SDN into WSN ushers in ...

Recently years, we have seen the exponential upgrowth of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which brings significant benefits to our daily lives, industry, and society. The common idea behind the IIoT is to connect digital ...

Network congestion is a phenomenon present in contemporaneous data centers (DCs) independently of scale and underlying technologies. The small-scale presence of congestion causes information delay for the DC hosted services, while in ...

Mobile Crowdsensing (MCS) is a paradigm involving a crowd of participants, called workers, into sensor data gathering campaigns through their personal devices. Some campaigns require workers to contribute with small amounts of ...

Low altitude platform (LAP) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also called drones, are currently being exploited by Edge computing (EC) systems to execute complex resource-hungry use cases, such as virtual reality, smart cities, ...

Factories are undergoing a digital transformation towards more cost-efficient, zero-defect manufacturing. The digitalized factories require communication networks capable of satisfying their strict latency and reliability demands. 5G ...

Two-thirds of the earth's surface is surrounded by water and the majority of it is still unexplored. The underwater monitoring of the oceans and their surroundings is highly crucial from several perspectives, e.g., to unearth the ...

Space–air–ground–sea integrated (SAGSI) networks are envisioned to connect satellite, aerial, ground, and sea networks to provide connectivity everywhere and all the time in sixth-generation (6G) networks. However, the success of SAGSI ...
