Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Software defined wireless networking is regarded as an emerging technology to enhance spectrum efficiency and improve the overall network performance. In this paper, we summarise the special issue on recent advances in software defined wireless networking. Specifically, this special issue publishes following findings: i) a novel context aware medium access control scheme for multichannel buffer-aided cognitive networks to reduce the delay by exploiting the packets’ contexts; ii) a utility-based uplink scheduling algorithm that accommodates different performance metrics and adapts its decisions based on user-specified profiles by incorporating an intermediary layer between the MAC and network layer; iii) an opportunistic spectrum …
