Abstract

The future wireless networks including the fifth generation of mobile networks have to serve a very dense heterogeneous network of devices with high resiliency and reliability. Network coding is also emerging as a potential key enabler for optimizing bandwidth requirements and energy consumption in highly dense mobile network environments. However, network coding deployments still need to consider security vulnerabilities and their countermeasures, before they can be adapted as part of the emerging mobile network deployments. On the other hand the software defined networking can be employed in the mobile small cell environment to achieve highly efficient and easily configurable network architecture. This paper studies the scope of utilizing the SDN based mobile small cells to implement secure network coded mobile small cells minimizing the overheads and delays.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016 SECRET-722424.
