Software-defined networking for low-latency 5G core network

Mobile communications have grown exponentially these last few years leading to an increasing demand. Software-Defined Networking appears to be a promising technology in order to provide flexible Quality of Service and very low latency. By modifying the 4G LTE architecture and integrating OpenFlow (SDN protocol) towards the 5G architecture, this new architecture promises to fulfill the requirements and to achieve better performances while participating to the network functions virtualization.
