In view of evolving the Internet infrastructure, ICN is promoting a communication model that fundamentally different from traditional IP address-centric model. The approach consists retrieval content by (unique) names, regardless origin server location (i.e., address), application, and distribution channel, thus enabling in-network caching/replication content-based security. expected benefits in terms improved data dissemination efficiency robustness challenging scenarios indicate high...
In the last few years, research community has witnessed rapid development of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) approach aiming at evolving Internet from today's host based packet delivery towards directly retrieving information in a secure, reliable, scalable, and efficient way. The Things (IoT) concept envisions scenarios which "smart objects" can be interconnected to enable whole new class applications services, positively increasing impact Information Communication Technologies (ICT)....
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has recently emerged as a promising Future Internet architecture that aims to cope with the increasing demand for highly scalable and efficient distribution of content. Moving away from communication model based in addressable hosts, ICN leverages in-network storage caching, multi-party through replication, interaction models decouple senders receivers. This novel networking approach potential outperform IP several dimensions, besides just content...
The next generation of mobile broadband communication, 5G, is seen as a driver for the industrial Internet things (IIoT). expected 5G-increased performance spanning across different indicators, flexibility to tailor network needs specific use cases, and inherent security that offers guarantees both in terms data isolation have triggered emergence concept public integrated non-public (PNI-NPN) 5G networks. These networks might be flexible alternative well-known (albeit mostly proprietary)...
5G network is expected to provide mMTC (massive Machine Type Communications or massive Internet of Things [mIoT]) slices in the near future, coinciding with expectations for a significant increase IoT global market. Many new use cases are anticipated be deployed using which requires performance. Release 17 introduces several features. However, as release 19, 3GPP does not claim full support slices. Even if cannot fully yet, features already standardized and included commercial-graded...
Multiaccess edge computing (MEC) service migration is a technology whose key objective to support ultralow-latency access services. However, the complex ultralarge-scale problem requires extensive research efforts, regarding foreseen ultradensified nodes in 5G and beyond. In this article, we propose novel dynamic optimization architecture for MEC networks. We develop new multicriteria decision-making algorithm: Technique order of preference by similarity ideal solution with attribute-based...

In particular, 5G gaining attention different vertical industries as enabler Industry 4.0. However, adopting these technologies requires business models...
Starting with 5G, mobile networks moved away from the point-to-point model used by previous generations towards a Service-Based Architecture (SBA) focused on Cloudnative design. While 5G considers SBA mainly as central location single administrative domain, 6G is expected to become more of fully-distributed system. This raises need for flexible service routing capabilities that allow utilization distributed resources available over multiple infrastructures. paper embraces this vision and...
