Leading the Evolution of Telecom Network Architectures

<p>In the July issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, Alex Reznik, Senior Principal Engineer, InterDigital Labs, participated as a guest editor for the <em>Feature Topic</em> entitled, <a class="offsite" href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6845043&amp;tag=1"><em>Research and standards: Leading the evolution of telecom network architectures</em></a>.&nbsp; In total, 38 papers were submitted, all focused on ways to rethink mobile network architectures and protocols.&nbsp; After review, the top seven papers were chosen and are highlighted in the current edition.</p>
<p>Included in the <em>Feature Topic</em> is <a class="offsite" href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6845049"><em>An Architecture for Software Defined Wireless Networking</em></a><em>, </em>a paper which explores applying a traditionally wired networking technique, Software Defined Networking (SDN), to a wireless environment.&nbsp; Juan Carlos Zuinga, InterDigital Principal Engineer, and Hao Jin, InterDigital Senior Engineer, along with the other contributing authors, explain that using an SDN-like approach in wireless mobile networks will push improvements beyond that of the wired case by leveraging distinct features of mobile deployments.&nbsp; This article is also featured as IEEE&rsquo;s <a class="offsite" href="http://www.comsoc.org/free-article-month"><em>Article of the month</em></a>.</p>
<p><em><a class="offsite" href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6845045">Toward A Standardized Common M2M Service Layer Platform: Introduction to OneM2M</a></em> was also chosen as one of the articles in the July edition.&nbsp; InterDigital&rsquo;s Guang Lu assists in telling the OneM2M story &ndash; the next evolution in M2M connections.&nbsp; In this article, the authors introduce the OneM2M Global Initiative, an international partnership project aimed at creating globally applicable and access-independent M2M service layer specifications related to M2M solutions. The authors explore use-cases, system architectures, and requirements for OneM2M.</p>
