A P2P virtual core-network architecture for next-generation mobility networks

We propose a new virtualized Peer-to-Peer (P2P) core-network architecture where each user gets its own private copy of the core network. This enables higher security and novel services, that cannot be deployed in today's architecture. We describe the new architecture in detail, presenting some of its many advantages and novel services. Lastly, we discuss some architectural options and their tradeoff by analyzing voice-call traffic in a large U.S. cellular network provider
