A Transforming Architecture for Future Wireless Networks: Transformium Network

The explosive growth of cellular network users and traffic stimulates the current network architecture to be more spectral-, energy-, and operation efficient and flexible. In this paper, we propose a transformium network architecture comprising transformium core, body and cloud, where the core dynamically schedules the body and cloud orchestrated with wireless network environment. To enable the transforming ability, some new emerging technologies, including software defined networking, network virtualization are employed in the proposed architecture. As a consequence, the transforimium network is a promising network architecture to improve the network capacity, quality of service and solve the network ossification problem.
