    The Future Internet will provide seamless connectivity via heterogeneous networks. The Y-Comm Architecture is a reference model that has been developed to build future mobile systems for heterogeneous environments. However, the emergence of Software Defined Networking and Network Functional Virtualization will allow the implementation of advanced mobile architectures such as Y-Comm to be prototyped and explored in more detail. This paper proposes an implementation model for the Y-Comm architecture based on these mechanisms. A key component is the design of the Core Endpoint which connects various peripheral wireless networks to the core network. This paper also proposes the development of a Network Management Control Protocol which allows the management routines running in the Cloud to control the underlying networking infrastructure. The system being proposed is flexible and modular and will allow current and future wireless technologies to be seamlessly integrated into the overall system

    The advanced features of 5G mobile wireless network systems yield new security requirements and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on security of 5G wireless network systems compared to the traditional cellular networks. The paper starts with a review on 5G wireless networks particularities as well as on the new requirements and motivations of 5G wireless security. The potential attacks and security services with the consideration of new service requirements and new use cases in 5G wireless networks are then summarized. The recent development and the existing schemes for the 5G wireless security are presented based on the corresponding security services including authentication, availability, data confidentiality, key management and privacy. The paper further discusses the new security features involving different technologies applied to 5G such as heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output, software defined networks and Internet of Things. Motivated by these security research and development activities, we propose a new 5G wireless security architecture, based on which the analysis of identity management and flexible authentication is provided. As a case study, we explore a handover procedure as well as a signaling load scheme to show the advantage of the proposed security architecture. The challenges and future directions of 5G wireless security are finally summarized

    Interoperability of Integrated Services and Differentiated Services Architectures

    The current trends in the development of real-time Internet applications and the rapid growth of mobile systems, indicate that the future Internet architecture will have to support various applications with different Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, regardless of whether they are running on a fixed or mobile terminals. Enabling end-to-end QoS over the Internet introduces complexity in several areas starting from applications, network architectures, but also in network management and business models. It becomes even more complex when one is introducing QoS in an environment of mobile hosts, wireless networks and different access technologies, due to scarce resources. Consequently, QoS deployment in the Internet represents one of the most challenging research topics of computer networks community today. The efforts to enable end-to-end QoS over the Internet have led to the development of two architectures, the Integrated Services architecture and more recently, the Differentiated Services architecture. Although fundamentally different, both architectures are designed for QoS support on the Internet. The focus of this document is the interoperability between the Integrated and Differentiated Services architectures with the objective on applicability to both end-to-end wired and wireless Internet QoS deployment. This document presents a general Integrated Services / Differentiated Services architecture design with specific requirements and accordingly a detail design of the boundary router. The role of this boundary router is to handle the Integrated and Differentiated Services interoperability, in a wired and wireless Internet environment. In order to prove the feasibility of the boundary router design a basic prototype implementation has been developed
