Software Defined Mobile Networks (SDMN): Beyond LTE Network Architecture (Hardcover)

This book describes the concept of a Software Defined Mobile Network (SDMN), which will impact the network architecture of current LTE (3GPP) networks. SDN will also open up new opportunities for traffic, resource and mobility management, as well as impose new challenges on network security. Therefore, the book addresses the main affected areas such as traffic, resource and mobility management, virtualized traffics transportation, network management, network security and techno economic concepts. Moreover, a complete introduction to SDN and SDMN concepts. Furthermore, the reader will be introduced to cutting-edge knowledge in areas such as network virtualization, as well as SDN concepts relevant to next generation mobile networks. Finally, by the end of the book the reader will be familiar with the feasibility and opportunities of SDMN concepts, and will be able to evaluate the limits of performance and scalability of these new technologies while applying them to mobile broadb and networks.

本書描述了軟體定義移動網路（SDMN）的概念，該概念將影響當前LTE（3GPP）網路的網路架構。SDN還將為流量、資源和移動管理開啟新的機會，同時對網路安全提出新的挑戰。因此，本書涵蓋了主要受影響的領域，如流量、資源和移動管理，虛擬化流量傳輸，網路管理，網路安全和技術經濟概念。此外，本書還完整介紹了SDN和SDMN概念。此外，讀者還將瞭解與下一代移動網路相關的網路虛擬化以及SDN概念的尖端知識。最後，通過閱讀本書，讀者將熟悉SDMN概念的可行性和機會，並能夠在應用於移動寬頻網路時評估這些新技術的性能和可擴展性限制。
