People are now more closely connected to the internet, sharing knowledge, working together, and producing and consuming vast amounts of data. These networks are powered by the fifth generation (5G) of the Internet, which federates numerous networks, including the regular Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, smart grids, and intelligent transportation systems. In fact, 5G is picking up steam as it expands the capabilities of the current Internet by enabling connections between a variety of "things" or actual physical objects, including electronic appliances, vehicles, thermostats, and other gadgets. A wide range of services, including weather monitoring, medical services, transportation and vehicle services, defence applications, and smart city applications, could be offered by the 5G network to society.
In this situation, software-defined networking (SDN), a more contemporary paradigm for communication that allows for the softwarization of the communication network, might be essential to overcoming these difficulties. It has a number of advantages that make it one of the main 5G cellular systems options. SDN networks separate the forwarding plane and the control plane of the communication networks to achieve great network flexibility and dependability. A single controller or a number of dispersed controllers may be deployed by the control plane. Network function virtualization is a different communication paradigm that may be implemented thanks to SDN (NFV).
The wide spectrum of research issues pertaining to SDN/NFV networks will be covered in this Special Issue. Researchers are invited to contribute original contributions on any of the following subjects, but not only those.
Submission Guidelines
