It is expected that the concept of Internet of everything will be realized in 2020 because of the coming of the 5G wireless communication technology. Internet of Things (IoT) services in various fields require different types of network service features, such as mobility, security, bandwidth, latency, reliability and control strategies. In order to solve the complex requirements and provide customized services, a new network architecture is needed. To change the traditional control mode used in the traditional network architecture, the Software Defined Network (SDN) is proposed. First, SDN divides the network into the Control Plane and Data Plane and then delegates the network management authority to the controller of the control layer. This allows centralized control of connections of a large number of devices. Second, SDN can help realizing the network slicing in the aspect of network layer. With the network slicing technology proposed by 5G, it can cut the 5G network out of multiple virtual networks and each virtual network is to support the needs of diverse users. In this work, we design and develop a network slicing framework. The contributions of this article are two folds. First, through SDN technology, we develop to provide the corresponding end-to-end (E2E) network slicing for IoT applications with different requirements. Second, we develop a dynamic network slice resource scheduling and management method based on SDN to meet the services’ requirements with time-varying characteristics. This is usually observed in streaming and services with bursty traffic. A prototyping system is completed. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated by using an electronic fence application as a use case.

This work introduces a novel approach to improve the precision of distance estimation in localization systems by using existing LoRaWAN and RSSI-based techniques. Despite the benefits of range and power efficiency, these systems exhibit limited accuracy in practical situations. To address the limitation, this study provides an innovative technique that greatly improves the precision of distance estimations, particularly in urban environments. The fundamental basis of this approach lies in the use of a dynamic path loss model. An additional element is to accommodate the varied and dynamic conditions of signal transmission in metropolitan areas. A better Kalman filter is also used in the study. This is important because it reduces the effects of multipath fading and environmental noise that often make RSSI-based localization in LoRaWAN networks less accurate. The study further examines the influence of the environmental exponent, also known as the path loss exponent, on the RSSI results and the precision of the distance measurements. This methodology achieves the average error under 1 meters for indoor environments and under 7 meters for outdoor environments. Finally, the Cumulative Density Function (CDF) shows 90 % of the distance estimation algorithm error for indoor environment is lower than 1.08 meters while for outdoor environment is lower than 7.55 meters. Based on these improvements, the introduced methodology not only enhances and improves existing approaches but also optimizes the precision and dependability of urban localization technologies, with substantial implications for a variety of practical applications.

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new network architecture that provides programmable networks, more efficient network management, and centralized control than traditional networks. The TCP SYN flooding attack is one of the most aggressive network attacks that can seriously degrade network performance. This paper proposes detection and mitigation modules against SYN flooding attacks in SDN. We combine those modules, which have evolved from the cuckoo hashing method and innovative whitelist, to get better performance compared to current methods Our approach reduces the traffic through the switch and improves detection accuracy, also the required register size is reduced by half for the same accuracy.
