Motivation
Why is it important?– The Internet and mobile communication networks are experiencing an
enormous growth and are a crucial factor of today´s economy
Future networks– Heterogeneous fixed and mobile networks interconnected by a
common IP core– Quick introduction of new network elements, applications and
services– Higher bandwidth, reduced delay and lower cost
Challenges:– Heterogeneity, dynamics, complexity, scalability of systems– Self-organization, mobility management, QoS, security
