| Abstract | Network slicing for 5G provides Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) for different use cases, allowing network operators to build multiple virtual networks on a shared infrastructure. With network slicing, service providers can deploy their applications and services flexibly and quickly to accommodate diverse services' specific requirements. As an emerging technology with a number of advantages, network slicing has raised many issues for the industry and academia alike. Here, the authors discuss this technology's background and propose a framework. They also discuss remaining challenges and future research directions. |

Self-organized Operational Neural Networks with Generative Neurons
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Operational Neural Networks (ONNs) have recently been proposed to address the well-known limitations and drawbacks of conventional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) such as network homogeneity with the sole linear neuron ... -
A novel multi-hop body-To-body routing protocol for disaster and emergency networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)In this paper, a new multi-hop routing protocol (called ORACE-Net) for disaster and emergency networks is proposed. The proposed hierarchical protocol creates an ad-hoc network through body-To-body (B2B) communication ... -
